Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless (skinless chicken breasts (2 large or 3 small))
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1-1/4 cups quick cooking brown rice (such as Uncle Bens 10 min rice)
- 2 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 dry pint cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber (peeled, seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 small orange bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 20 pitted Kalamata olives (sliced)
- 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium lemon (quartered)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Combine lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, garlic and oregano in a small bowl.
- Place the chicken breasts, 1 at a time, in a Ziploc bag. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness, about ½ inch thick, being careful not to puncture the bag.
- Add marinade to the bag. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Bring the rice and broth to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes (or until rice is tender and broth is absorbed).
- Meanwhile preheat a grill, grill pan or heavy skillet over medium heat. Spray with oil and add the chicken, discard the marinade.
- Cook 5 to 6 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through. Allow chicken to rest while you make the rest of the bowl.
- Slice the chicken breasts. Place 3/4 cup rice in each bowl, top with chicken, 1/4 of the tomatoes, cucumbers, pepper and olives.
- Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil, lemon juice from 1 wedge, 1 tablespoon feta cheese and a sprinkle of parsley.
- Slice the chicken breasts. In 4 meal containers, layer 3/4 cup rice and 1/4 of the chicken, in separate containers or baggies pack ¼ of the tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, olives and feta.
- When ready to eat, heat the chicken and rice, top with veggies, olives and cheese and drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and lemon juice from 1 wedge.
