INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (skinless, boneless)
1/2 cup Chickpeas, canned, drained
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, toss the cooked brown rice and chickpeas with the remaining marinade, ensuring the flavors meld together.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, until it is cooked through and has a nice char.
Plate the chickpea rice mixture and slice the chicken breast over the top.
Garnish with additional parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon, if desired, and serve immediately.
