Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.

Cooking Grains

  1. 2

    Prepare Brown Rice

    In a pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  2. 3

    Prepare Quinoa

    In another pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Chop the kale, romaine lettuce, cabbage, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Slice the scallions thinly.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Greens & Grains Bar

    In a large serving bowl or platter, layer the cooked brown rice and quinoa at the base. Top with the chopped greens, then add the sliced chicken on top. Sprinkle with chickpeas, carrots, almonds, and jack cheese. Finish with pico de gallo and scallions. Offer a selection of dressings on the side.
