Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in basmati rice, lemon pepper seasoning, the boiling water (see ingredients) and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don’t peek!
• When rice has 10 minutes remaining, thinly slice cucumber into rounds.
• In a medium bowl, combine chicken tenderloins, Nan's special seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook chicken tenderloins until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine kalamata olives, cucumber, gourmet leaf mix, balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide lemon pepper rice and kalamata olive salad between bowls.
• Top with seared chicken and hummus.
• Sprinkle over flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
