INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Brown Rice
1/4 cup Slivered Almonds
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Fresh Mixed Herbs
1/4 cup Red Onion, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the brown rice under cold water and cook according to package instructions until tender, then set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or sear on medium-high heat until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F), then slice into strips.
In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the red onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the cooked rice to the pan along with fresh lemon juice and chopped herbs. Stir to combine evenly.
Fold in the sliced chicken breast to warm through, ensuring it blends well with the rice mixture.
In a separate small pan, toast the slivered almonds over low heat until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Gently stir the toasted almonds into the pilaf. Adjust salt and pepper as desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this vibrant, protein-packed meal.
