Ingredients
Scale
-
- 2 Chicken breast, or (left over from a meal)
- 1 cup Rice (white or brown)
- A tin of Chickpeas
- 1 cup of Broccoli
- 1 Avocado
- lettuce and basil leaves
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- salt and pepper and lemon pepper.
- Easy Tomato Salsa Recipe
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan and lightly oil, to grill the chicken in.
- Add you cup of rice to a pot and then add two and half cups of water and salt to the rice and bring to boil. Turn down the heat to simmer and add a lid to the rice pot. leave for a good 10 minutes or so until the water has been absorbed. The rice will be ready. (use a rice cooker if preferred)
- At this time also steam or boil your broccoli to cook.
- If your chicken breasts are to thick cut them in half. Sprinkle some salt and pepper and lemon pepper on the chicken. Grill the chicken on this pan until lightly brown one side (about 5-7 min) and turn over and grill the other side. Until the chicken is cooked through and no meat inside is pink. Leave the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing to serve.
- Prepare your salad leaves by washing them and drying them. Slice your small red onion and cucumber. Cut your avocado in half and take the peel off. (or slice the avocado into slices)
- To prepare your dish add the lettuce and a little bit of basil leaves on one side. Place some cucumber and onion on the leaves, as well as the avocado. The other half of the plate add a spoon full of rice and a spoon full of drained chickpeas and slices of chicken. Then the broccoli florets.
- You can serve with tomato salsa or any sauce you prefer.
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the salad and the avocado. I love to add the lemon pepper on avocado and the salads.
- Serve the filling nutritious meal, and enjoy.
Notes
- The chicken can be pan fried or grilled, barbecue grilled or oven grilled.
- The chickpeas can be replaced with peas, or beans and even corn.
- Use brown rice instead of white rice. For low carb use cauliflower.
