- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2-inch thick
- coarse salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1 bunch fresh spinach leaves, trimmed and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Bring the brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
- While rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pan-fry in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Set chicken aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet; cook and stir garlic and pepper flakes in hot oil just until fragrant, about 1 minute; stir in spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
- Spread cooked brown rice onto a serving platter and arrange chicken breasts over the rice. Spread spinach over chicken, sprinkle with pine nuts and goat cheese, and squeeze lemon juice over the dish to serve.
