Method
Cooking the Base
- 1
Prepare Brown Rice
Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Cooking the Protein

Cook Chicken
While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season 1 lb of chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
