INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup uncooked Basmati Rice
4 oz Chicken Breast (Grilled)
1/2 cup Chickpeas
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Fresh Mixed Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the rice with a pinch of salt, then simmer until tender and all water is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and grill until fully cooked. Once done, slice it into bite-sized pieces.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the cooked rice and chickpeas to the pan, stirring to combine with the garlic-infused oil.
Mix in the lemon juice and chopped fresh herbs, and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Gently fold in the grilled chicken pieces, ensuring even distribution of flavors throughout the pilaf.
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra herbs if desired.
