• 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 snacking tomatoes, 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 in
batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to
a plate.
• Remove from heat, then return all chicken strips to the pan. Add the honey and
toss to combine.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.

• To the bowl with cooled rice, add mixed salad leaves, cucumber, tomatoes and
a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Toss to combine, then season to taste with salt
and pepper.
• Divide wild rice salad between bowls. Top with Middle Eastern chicken. Drizzle
over garlic sauce and tear over mint.
• Garnish with roasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!
