INGREDIENTS

  • 50 g SPAR Select skinless chicken breast
  • 250g SPAR Brown Basmati Rice
  • 15ml SPAR Olive Oil
  • 30ml SPAR Lemon Juice
  • Dried mixed herbs
  • 250g SPAR Freshline cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 SPAR Freshline cucumber, diced
  • 120g SPAR Freshline lettuce

CHEF’S TIP

Rest the chicken before slicing so it stays tender and juicy.

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Cook the brown basmati rice according to the pack instructions.
  2. Coat the chicken with olive oil, half the lemon juice, herbs and seasoning. Pan-grill for 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Rest, then slice.
  3. Divide rice, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber between bowls.
  4. Top with chicken and feta and finish with the remaining lemon juice.

GOOD TO KNOW

  1. Freezer friendly? YES – Freeze chicken and rice separately.
  2. Leftovers? – Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
