Lemon Chicken & Feta Rice

Nutrition

Ingredients

• Chicken breast
• Brown Rice
• Cauliflower
• Red Capsicum
• Cucumber baby
• Greek Feta Cheese
• Olive Oil

Instructions

1. 1.Start by bringing a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the Basmati Rice and cook for 10–12 minutes until tender but not mushy. Once finished, drain the rice thoroughly using a fine-mesh sieve and set it aside; the steam will continue to fluff the grains while you prepare the rest of the meal.
2. 2.While the rice is boiling, grate the Cauliflower into rice-sized pieces using a box grater or a food processor. Heat a large, dry pan over medium heat,no oil is needed here, and sauté the cauliflower for 3–4 minutes. This "dry-fry" method removes excess moisture, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the actual rice later.
3. 3.Slice the Chicken Breast into thin, even strips to ensure quick and even cooking. Heat a splash of Olive Oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6–8 minutes. Toss frequently until the pieces are golden-brown on the outside and completely cooked through.
4. 4.Take a moment to finely dice the Capsicum and Cucumber into small, uniform cubes. These fresh ingredients are kept raw to provide a crisp, cooling texture that contrasts beautifully with the warm chicken and rice, adding essential micronutrients and hydration to the bowl.
5. 5.Gently crumble the Feta Cheese into small pieces using your fingers or a fork. Preparing the feta separately allows you to control the distribution of its salty, creamy flavour across the bowl, ensuring every bite is perfectly seasoned without the need for extra salt.
6. 6.In a large serving bowl, mix the cooked basmati rice and the sautéed cauliflower rice together; this effectively doubles the volume of your meal. Top the mixture with the golden chicken, the diced vegetables, and the crumbled feta.
