Grilled chicken fillets

Method

1. Start by seasoning the chicken fillets. In a bowl, place the fillets and season with salt and garlic powder to taste. Mix well so the seasoning coats all the fillets.
2. Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick frying pan (or griddle) over medium-high heat.
3. When the pan is very hot, add the chicken fillets. Grill each side for 4-6 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. To check, cut a fillet in half; if the centre is white, it is done.
4. While the chicken grills, prepare the rice. Bring a pan of water and a pinch of salt to the boil. When it boils, add the rice and cook according to the package instructions, usually 10-12 minutes.
5. Wash the lettuce and tomatoes well. Dry the lettuce and cut it into pieces. Cut the tomatoes into slices or wedges.
6. Make a simple salad with the lettuce and tomatoes. You can dress it with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar to taste, if you wish.
7. As soon as the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the grilled chicken fillets with the white rice and the fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
