Ingredients

  • 4 x 100 g lean chicken breast fillets
  • 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 bunches broccolini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

Step 1

Preheat a grill or frying pan on medium to high heat and spray with olive oil. Grill the chicken breasts, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and firm to touch, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 2

To make chimichurri, place parsley, garlic, chilli flakes and vinegar in a small food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix through.

Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the green beans and broccolini and simmer for 4 minutes until tender. Drain. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice over the vegetables before serving.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat microwave brown rice according to packet instructions.

Step 5

Slice the chicken breast and drizzle with chimichurri.

Step 6

Serve with ½ cup brown rice per person, green beans and broccolini.
