INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
0.5 oz Toasted Pine Nuts
1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Mint
1 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked brown rice over low heat. Stir in the olive oil, juice, and zest of the lemon to infuse a fresh citrus flavor.
Fold in the chopped parsley and mint into the rice, allowing the herbs to release their aromas.
Gently toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until they are golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Assemble the dish by layering the citrus herb rice on a plate, topping with sliced grilled chicken, and sprinkling toasted pine nuts over the top.
Finish with a light drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired, and serve immediately.
