Fresh Herb-Citrus Rice Pilaf with Toasted Pine Nuts
A vibrant, nourishing pilaf combining nutty brown rice, succulent diced chicken breast, and the delicate crunch of toasted pine nuts, all brightened with a medley of fresh herbs and a zesty citrus dressing. This dish offers a delightful blend of textures and flavors perfect for any meal.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked brown rice (approx. 195g)
3 ounces diced chicken breast (approx. 85g)
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (approx. 20g)
1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, mint)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
PREPARATION
Rinse the brown rice and cook it using the low-sodium chicken broth according to package instructions to infuse extra flavor, or bring the broth to a simmer and add rice until tender.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it is browned and fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed chicken, and toasted pine nuts.
Stir in the chopped fresh herbs and lemon juice, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, then serve warm to enjoy a fresh, herb-citrus infused pilaf.
