INGREDIENTS
Origin
Inspired by Mediterranean flavors, this rice bowl combines juicy chicken, fresh vegetables, and Sauce Pantry’s Pesto for a hearty yet refreshing meal.
Pro Tips
-
Marinate the chicken in pesto before cooking for deeper flavor.
-
Use a mix of white and brown rice or quinoa for added texture.
Things to Watch Out For
-
Don’t overcook the chicken — keep it juicy so the pesto coats well.
-
Add the pesto just before serving to keep it bright and aromatic.
Process
-
Cook rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.
-
Mix one Pesto sachet with the instructed liquid in a Sauce Pantry jar. Shake until smooth.
-
Coat chicken breasts or thighs with half of the pesto and marinate for 30 minutes (optional).
-
Grill or pan-sear chicken until cooked through, then slice.
-
Assemble bowls: rice at the base, sliced chicken on top, drizzle with remaining pesto, and add vegetables of choice.
