Ingredients
- 25.8 g Chicken breast, raw
- 119.2 g Spinach, raw
- 26.2 g Rice, white, cooked
Method
- 01In an Italian kitchen, breakfast is simple and light. To honor the tradition of the 'Crostata' style while hitting your specific protein needs, we prepare a savory morning protein plate.
- 02Finely dice the chicken breast into small cubes. Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- 03Heat a small non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until the edges turn golden brown and the meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- 04Add the fresh spinach to the pan. Toss quickly just until the leaves wilt and turn bright, vibrant green—this should only take 60 seconds.
- 05Fold in the cooked white rice to absorb the juices from the chicken and spinach. Stir for 1 minute until warmed through.
- 06Transfer to a small ceramic plate. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors, mirroring the acidity found in traditional Italian fruit tarts. Serve immediately while warm.
