1 teaspoon Pepper To taste

For the Salad

1 cup Cucumber Chopped
1 cup Tomatoes Chopped

2 cups Basmati rice Cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

Preparation

Marinate the chicken in lemon juice, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

Grill or bake the marinated chicken until cooked through.

Assembly

Prepare a salad with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keep chicken, rice, and salad separate for freshness. The chicken lasts for 3-4 days, while the salad is best eaten within 2 days. Adjust the marinade by adding garlic or herbs as desired. Quinoa can replace basmati rice for a different grain option.
