INGREDIENTS:
- 700g Lilydale Free Range Lemon & Pepper Chicken Tenders (2 packs of 350g each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 500g small Brussels sprouts, finely sliced lengthways
- 2 spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 450g packet of 2 1⁄2-minute brown rice
- 1/3 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1/3 cup flaked natural almonds
- 200g snow peas, trimmed and blanched
- Fresh mint leaves and lemon wedges, for serving
Tahini Yoghurt Dressing:
- 1⁄2 cup Greek-style natural yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
METHOD:
- Start by cooking the Lilydale frozen Lemon & Pepper Chicken Tenders according to the packet directions.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tahini yoghurt dressing. In a small bowl, combine the Greek-style natural yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the finely sliced Brussels sprouts, spring onions, and chopped garlic. Cook and toss the mixture for about 4-5 minutes, until the sprouts are just tender. Reduce the heat and keep warm.
- Prepare the 2 1⁄2-minute brown rice according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, place the rice in a bowl and add half of the pepitas and flaked almonds. Set aside the remaining pepitas and almonds for later.
- Assemble the nourish bowls: Divide the rice mixture, cooked Brussels sprouts mixture, blanched snow peas, and Lilydale Lemon & Pepper Chicken Tenders among shallow serving bowls.
- Drizzle the tahini yoghurt dressing over the bowls, and then scatter the remaining pepitas and flaked almonds on top.
- Garnish the bowls with fresh mint leaves and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing of citrus flavor.
