Regenerative Organic Brown Basmati Rice

1

In a large saucepan, warm olive oil over medium-high heat for 1 min. Add rice, stir in salt, black pepper, and ¼ cup chopped cilantro. Toast for 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally.
2

Add broth or water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, then cover to simmer for 30 mins. Remove from heat, let stand covered for 5 mins, then fluff with a fork.
3

Meanwhile, mix all the dry seasonings in a small bowl to make fajita seasoning. Generously pat mixture evenly over both chicken breasts.
4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken breasts for 6-8 mins on both sides, or until fully cooked (internal temperatures reach 165°F). Let rest for 5 mins, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

To serve, divide a generous layer of mixed greens, ⅓ cup rice, ¼ of sliced chicken, and your favorite fajita toppings between bowls.
