Ingredients

  • 2 pieces chicken breast

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup mint leaves
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 2 chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp olive oil. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.

    While the chicken cooks, warm the 2 cups cooked rice in a microwave or saucepan until steaming, about 2 minutes.

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Divide the warm rice between two bowls and top with the sliced chicken.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle 0.5 cup cashews and 0.25 cup mint leaves over each bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve immediately.
