INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/4 cup Chickpeas
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Cilantro)
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil it with olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, then grill for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the pilaf by combining the cooked brown rice and chickpeas in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley and cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Slice the grilled chicken and gently mix into the rice pilaf. Top with toasted pine nuts and an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy a flavorful, nutrient-packed meal.
