Method

Prepare the Base

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Cook the Herb Chicken

  1. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle with mixed dried herbs, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning into both sides of the chicken.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and let it rest before slicing.

Sauté the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the summer squash into half-moons. If using frozen sweet corn, thaw it in warm water. Shave or grate the carrots and red onion.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Summer Squash and Corn

    In the same skillet used for the chicken, add a little more olive oil if necessary, and sauté the sliced summer squash over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the sweet corn and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the shaved carrots and red onion, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute until the vegetables are heated through.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 6

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a serving bowl, layer the cooked white rice as the base. Top with sliced herb chicken, sautéed vegetables, and crumbled goat cheese. Serve warm.
