Savor a bright and aromatic rice pilaf accented with fresh herbs, zesty lemon, and lightly toasted pine nuts, perfectly paired with a tender grilled chicken breast to boost the protein. This dish offers an exciting blend of textures and flavors, balancing nutty, tangy, and savory notes for a nourishing meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 cups cooked Brown Rice
2 tbsp Pine Nuts (toasted)
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 tbsp chopped Fresh Herbs
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest before slicing.
Rinse the brown rice and cook it according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
While the rice cooks, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, mix 0.5 tablespoon olive oil with lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked rice with the herb-lemon dressing, stirring well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Plate the rice pilaf and top with sliced grilled chicken. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top, and garnish with additional herbs if desired.
