INGREDIENTS
3 ounces grilled chicken breast
1/2 cup cooked basmati rice
2 tablespoons toasted almonds
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Juice from 1/4 citrus (lemon/orange)
2 tablespoons fresh herb mix (parsley and cilantro)
PREPARATION
Prepare the basmati rice according to package directions, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of citrus juice. Grill it until cooked through and lightly charred, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sliced chicken, and toasted almonds. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed citrus juice over the mixture.
Fold in the fresh herb mix gently, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with an extra sprinkle of herbs if desired.
