INGREDIENTS
0.33 cup dry Basmati Rice
4 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Mixed Fresh Herbs
0.5 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with the low-sodium chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, heat a small pan over medium heat and toast the pine nuts until they turn golden, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye as they can burn easily.
Season the grilled chicken breast with salt and pepper and, if not already cooked, lightly sear in a pan with a teaspoon of olive oil until heated through and slightly crisp on the edges. Slice into strips once done.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped mixed herbs, and the teaspoon of olive oil. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the rice pilaf, top with the sliced grilled chicken, and sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant blend of citrus, herbs, and crunchy pine nuts in every bite.
