Ingredients
- 200g PC Blue Menu Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 75.2 g Wild American Basmati White Rice, Wild Rice, Brown and Red Rice Blend
- 120g Tuscan Kale
- 15g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 10g Garlic, fresh
Method
- 01Rinse the wild rice blend thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a pot with double the volume of water, simmering until tender, about 25-30 minutes. Let it steam off the heat for 5 minutes.
- 02Season the chicken thighs with sea salt and black pepper. Heat half the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until deeply golden brown, about 5 minutes per side, ensuring the edges are caramelized. Remove from the pan.
- 03Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining oil and the thinly sliced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is golden and fragrant, taking care not to burn it. Add the kale to the pan with a splash of water, covering it briefly to steam until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes.
- 04Fluff the rice with a fork and fold in the garlic-infused oil and kale drippings.
- 05Plating: Place a generous mound of the wild rice blend on the plate, top with the golden-seared chicken thighs, and arrange the wilted Tuscan kale alongside. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
