Cooking Steps
- Microwave brown, red & wild rice until steaming, 90 seconds.
- Transfer to a large bowl with a pinch of salt and allow to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato, cucumber and roasted almonds.
- Pick mint leaves.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips and Middle Eastern seasoning, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Remove from heat, the return all chicken strips to the pan, add the honey, tossing to coat.
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
- To the bowl with cooled rice, add mixed salad leaves, cucumber, tomato, a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Toss to combine and season to taste.
- Divide wild rice salad between bowls. Top with Middle Eastern chicken. Drizzle over garlic sauce and tear over mint leaves.
- Garnish with roasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!
