Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice with 4 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy.

   Cook the Chicken

   In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing.

   Cook the Shrimp

   In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and lemon juice, and cook for 1 more minute.

4. 4

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pan, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
