INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1/4 cup Toasted Pine Nuts
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
1/4 cup Fresh Mint
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Once done, let the chicken rest and then slice into strips.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside.
Combine the cooked brown rice in a bowl with freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, and mint. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently until well mixed.
Plate the rice pilaf and top with the grilled chicken slices. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top and serve immediately.
