Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill or sear on a medium-high heat until cooked through and charred, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mac & Cheese

    Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pot. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese over low heat until melted and creamy. Add salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Make the Pecan Kale Caesar

    In a large bowl, combine chopped kale, pecans, and Caesar dressing. Toss well to coat the kale evenly.

  4. 4

    Cook the Brown Rice

    In a saucepan, combine brown rice with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes until rice is tender. Fluff with fork and mix in chopped parsley.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Garlic Aioli (undressing)

    In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. This will serve as a light dressing for the dish.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Naked Plate

    On a large plate, arrange a serving of charred chicken, a scoop of mac & cheese, a portion of pecan kale Caesar, and a serving of brown rice. Drizzle the garlic aioli on top or serve on the side.
