Chicken And Rice With Salad Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season 2 chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs or spices. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Set aside to rest, then slice.

Step 2: Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of white or brown rice, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes for white rice or 40-45 minutes for brown rice until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Step 3: Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion. Dress with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine.

Step 4: Serve

On a plate, serve a portion of rice topped with sliced chicken and a generous serving of salad on the side.
