Chicken, Rice & Broccoli
Chicken, Rice & Broccoli
1 serving 45 min prep
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup Brown Rice (uncooked, rinsed)
- ½ cup Water
- 4 oz Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 ½ tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 cup Broccoli (chopped into florets)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Combine the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid.
- Cook for 40 minutes or until water is absorbed.
- Remove the lid and fluff with a fork.
- In the prepped baking dish, coat the chicken with oil and salt. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside and cover with foil while prepping the other ingredients.
- While the rice is cooking, place broccoli in a steaming basket and add it to the same pot of rice. Steam for 5 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
- Slice the chicken and divide it, along with the broccoli and rice onto plates or into containers. Enjoy!
Notes:
- No Brown Rice - Use quinoa, jasmine rice, couscous, barley or cauliflower rice instead.
- Less Time - Soak the rice overnight or slice the chicken in half lengthwise to reduce cooking time.
