INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Mixed Fresh Herbs
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Juice and zest of 1/2 Lemon
Zest of 1 Orange (small portion)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions if not already prepared.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken breast. Cook chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
While the chicken cooks, dice the red bell pepper and roughly chop the mixed herbs. Zest the lemon and the orange, then squeeze the lemon to extract its juice.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the cooked brown rice and red bell pepper. Toss gently with the garlic-infused olive oil remnants.
Stir in the diced chicken, fresh herbs, lemon zest, orange zest, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm, and enjoy the fresh citrus and herb flavors with every bite.
