INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tbsp Toasted Pine Nuts
1/2 cup Mixed Fresh Herbs (parsley, basil, mint)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp finely diced Red Onion
1 clove minced Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Allow to rest for a few minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, prepare the brown rice if not pre-cooked. If using leftovers, gently reheat them in a saucepan with a splash of water.
In a small pan over low heat, toast the pine nuts for a couple of minutes until they turn golden and fragrant. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, diced chicken, finely diced red onion, and minced garlic.
Add the fresh mixed herbs and drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Toss gently to combine all flavors.
Finish by stirring in the toasted pine nuts just before serving, allowing their crunch to shine through.
Serve warm, and enjoy a harmonious blend of citrus brightness, herbaceous freshness, and a comforting nutty crunch.
