1/2 cup chickpeas (82g)
1/2 cup shelled edamame (78g)

2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs (parsley, mint, dill)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the fresh chopped herbs with lemon juice and olive oil to create a citrus dressing. Set aside.

Rinse and drain chickpeas and edamame, then gently toss them into the warm rice.
Add the diced grilled chicken breast to the mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Drizzle the herb-citrus dressing over the rice mixture and toss lightly to incorporate all the flavors.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the pilaf and give a final gentle mix.
Serve warm and enjoy this fresh, nutrient-packed meal.
