Fresh Herb-Citrus Rice Pilaf with Toasted Pine Nuts
Enjoy a vibrant, fresh rice pilaf featuring tender chicken breast, aromatic brown rice, and a burst of citrus with zesty orange and lemon accents, all complemented by the crunch of toasted pine nuts and the brightness of mixed fresh herbs.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/4 cup rinsed Chickpeas
1 tbsp Toasted Pine Nuts
1/4 cup Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Prepare all ingredients by rinsing the chickpeas and finely chopping the fresh mixed herbs.
If not already cooked, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper then grill or sear until cooked through. Allow it to rest and then slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan, warm the cooked brown rice over low heat. Stir in the chickpeas to heat through.
In a small skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil for extra richness if desired.
Combine the warm rice mixture with the sliced chicken. Add the toasted pine nuts and gently fold in the chopped herbs.
Finish by drizzling lemon juice and sprinkling orange zest over the pilaf. Toss gently to combine all the fresh, citrusy flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed and serve warm.
