Fresh Herb-Citrus Rice Pilaf with Toasted Pine Nuts
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic rice pilaf, featuring tender chunks of grilled chicken, nutty brown rice, and a medley of chopped fresh herbs brightened with lemon zest and juice. Toasted pine nuts add a satisfying crunch, making this dish as nutritious as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/4 cup cooked Chickpeas
1 tbsp Toasted Pine Nuts
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Mint
2 tbsp Lemon Juice and Zest
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill it over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, let it rest and then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a saucepan, reheat the cooked brown rice with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cooked chickpeas and mix until well combined with the rice.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and mint, lemon juice, and zest to brighten the flavors.
Gently mix in the diced grilled chicken to combine all ingredients evenly.
Finally, sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the pilaf before serving for a delightful crunch.
