Simple Chicken Meal With Grains And Lettuce Recipe

Prepare the Chicken Breast

1. Start by seasoning the chicken breast with a bit of salt and pepper, or any other preferred seasonings. 2. Boil or steam the chicken breast until fully cooked, usually about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size. 3. Once cooked, let the chicken breast rest before slicing or shredding it into pieces.

Cook the Grains

1. Choose your preferred grain - barley, farro, or brown rice. 2. Rinse the grains thoroughly under cold water. 3. Bring water to a boil in a medium pot, following the grain's packaging instructions for the water-to-grain ratio. 4. Add the grains to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook until the grains are tender, usually about 25-30 minutes for barley and farro, and 45 minutes for brown rice. 5. Once cooked, drain any excess water and set aside.

Prepare the Shredded Lettuce

1. Wash a head or bag of lettuce thoroughly under cold water. 2. Shake off any excess water and pat dry with a paper towel. 3. Using a knife or a shredder, cut the lettuce into thin shreds. 4. Set aside for serving.
