Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • ½ tsp salt (divided)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (divided)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp lemon juice (divided)
  • ½ cup brown rice
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ½ tomato, sliced
  • ¼ red bell pepper, chopped
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced

Instructions

  1. Rinse brown rice under cold water until clear. Combine with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes until tender.
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and lemon juice. Rub the mixture onto the chicken breast and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest before slicing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine fresh spinach, sliced tomato, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve the grilled chicken slices on a bed of brown rice alongside the fresh spinach salad.
