Ingredients

  • 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
  • 2 (about 200g each) chicken breast fillets, trimmed, halved horizontally
  • 350g green beans, trimmed
  • 2 bunches baby broccoli, halved lengthways
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 450g packet microwavable brown rice

Method

Step 1

Place the chopped parsley, garlic, chilli flakes and vinegar in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and process until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a lightly greased frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

Step 3

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Cook the beans and baby broccoli for 1-2 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Return to the saucepan. Drizzle with remaining oil and lemon juice and toss to combine.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat the rice following packet directions.

Step 5

Divide the rice and baby broccoli mixture among serving plates. Arrange the chicken over the rice and drizzle with the chimichurri. Serve with lemon wedges.
