Packed with Flavor
This simple rice bowl contains only 5 ingredients, but is loaded with flavor! From the subtle nuttiness of the whole grain brown and wild rice, to the savory rotisserie chicken, zesty balsamic vinaigrette, tangy sun-dried tomatoes and rich pine nuts, this is a dish that covers all the flavor bases! More than a salad, this dish is an entire meal in a bowl. For additional fresh flavor, add in leafy arugula or spinach along with crumbled goat or feta cheese.
Although this rice bowl is perfect as a meal idea for one, if you want to turn it into a family-sized dish, simply double or triple the ingredient amounts, as needed. If you are looking for more family-sized meals, we recommend you give this 15 Minute Chicken and Rice Dinner a try!
