Ingredients and method
Ingredients
- 500g Chicken breast
- 100g Shredded tasty cheese
- 300g Brown rice
- 2 tomatoes Tomatoes
- 110g Baby spinach
- 18ml Olive oil
Method
- Prep the ingredients Set out chicken breast, cheese, brown rice, tomato, spinach and olive oil. Rinse spinach and pat the leaves dry. Measure cheese and olive oil. Wash and trim tomato.
- Cook the base Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the brown rice. Leave it to boil for 30-35 minutes until tender while you prepare the other ingredients in the following steps.
- Prepare the protein While the rice boils, cut the chicken breast into 2-3 cm pieces. Cook the chicken pieces in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, turning, until cooked through with no pink in the centre (75C on a food thermometer).
- Prepare the vegetables Chop tomato into bite-sized pieces so every forkful has a mix of textures.
- Season the bowl Drizzle olive oil over the warm ingredients and toss so everything is coated before assembling.
- Assemble Drain the brown rice well once it is tender. Divide brown rice, chicken breast, and vegetables between bowls, then add cheese.
- Serve Serve warm, checking that each bowl has a balanced mix of protein, vegetables, and base.
