In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice and chickpeas. Add the chopped parsley and cilantro.
Zest the lemon and squeeze its juice over the rice mixture along with a teaspoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and gently toss to combine.
Grill the chicken breast until fully cooked and nicely charred on the outside, then slice into strips.
