Method

Grilling the Protein

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. If grilling salmon, season the fillets similarly.

  2. 2

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

  3. 3

    Grill Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. For salmon, grill skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Rest

    Remove the chicken or salmon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse 2 cups of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 6

    Cook Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Fluff Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Roasting the Broccoli

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 9

    Prepare Broccoli

    Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

  3. 10

    Roast Broccoli

    Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy.

Making Herb Vinaigrette

  1. 11

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl or jar, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped parsley, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 12

    Whisk or Shake

    Whisk together until emulsified or seal the jar and shake well until combined.
