Method
- Bring 680 ml of water to the boil with half the salt. Add the long grain rice, cover and cook over low heat for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Halve the chicken breasts horizontally to make steaks about 1 cm thick. Season with the garlic powder and remaining salt.
- Heat 20 ml of olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium to high heat. Grill the chicken in two batches for 4 to 6 minutes per side until the centres reach 74 °C. Rest for 3 minutes.
- Wash and dry the lettuce and cut the tomatoes into wedges. Toss with the remaining 10 ml of olive oil and serve with the chicken and rice.
Shopping tip
Cut the chicken to an even thickness and check the temperature in the centre of the thickest piece.
