Instructions

  • STEP 1

    Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then cook according to package instructions. Once done, remove rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

    • 1 cup wild rice mix
    • 2 1/4 cups water
  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

    • 2 medium zucchini squash
    • 8 oz mini sweet bell peppers
    • 1/4 small bunch italian (flat-leaf) parsley
    • 1/2 lemon
  • STEP 3

    Trim and slice zucchini crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Trim, seed, and halve mini bell peppers (if using regular peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces). Place both in a medium bowl, drizzle with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.

    • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • STEP 4

    Shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Cut lemon into wedges. Set both aside for serving.

  • STEP 5

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add chicken, then cover and cook until seared on one side, 4-6 minutes. Flip and cook, still covered, an additional 5-10 minutes, until internal product temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer. Remove to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

    • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 (12 oz) pkg lemon peppercorn chicken breast (marinated & ready-to-cook)
  • STEP 6

    Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add veggies and grill, turning occasionally, until charred and fork-tender, 5-10 minutes. Return to the bowl and cover to keep warm.

  • STEP 7

    Thinly slice chicken.

  • STEP 8

    To serve, divide rice pilaf, grilled veggies, and chicken between plates. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon over top. Enjoy!
