Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 2 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 2 bunches broccolini
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts

Instructions

  • Rinse wild rice in water, put in a small pot (or a sauce pan), and pour some water (about half an inch covering the rice). Put the pot on the stove on high and bring it to boil. As soon as the water starts boiling, switch it to low, season with salt and cover with a lid. Let it cook for about 25 minutes or until it is ready.
  • Chop a large sweet potato into bite size pieces, put on a baking tray with a tablespoon of vegetable or olive oil and bake at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes or until soft.
  • Rinse chicken breasts in water and pat dry. Slice it lengthwise and season both sides with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill pan on high and grease with a little bit of olive or vegetable oil. Place the chicken on the pan and grill it for a few minutes on each side until it is done.
  • Rinse broccolini, pat dry and cut off the ends. Preheat a pan on medium/low with a tablespoon of olive oil. Place prepped broccolini on a pan and cover with a lid. Flip them over every few minutes so it doesn’t burn. When it is about to be ready, add pine nuts and sear for a few more minutes until the nuts are roasted and get a beautiful golden/brown color.
  • Once everything is done, assemble the ingredients in a bowl and enjoy!
