Marinate the Chicken

Begin by marinating your chicken breast in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices of your choice. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest before slicing.

Prepare the Rice

In a medium saucepan, cook white rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender.

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine chopped lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and any other salad vegetables you enjoy. Dress the salad lightly with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Serve

Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside a scoop of white rice and a generous portion of salad. Feel free to drizzle a light dressing over the salad if desired.
