Warm Rice, Artichoke, Spinach, and Chicken Salad

Warm Rice, Artichoke, Spinach, and Chicken Salad
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon (such as Knorr®)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 cups rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
  • 10 small thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
  • 1 cup roughly chopped marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ground black pepper to taste


  1. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until onion softens, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir pine nuts into onion mixture; saute until fragrant and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir lemon zest, vegetable bouillon, and turmeric into onion mixture; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice to mixture and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  2. Pour rice mixture in a rice cooker and add water. Set the rice cooker to the regular white rice cycle, and select Start. Fluff cooked rice with a fork and top rice with green onion and basil. Close rice cooker and steam green onion and basil until tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir mushrooms into rice and place spinach on top. Close rice cooker again and steam until spinach wilts slightly, about 5 minutes more. Add chicken, artichoke hearts, and Parmesan cheese; stir to combine. Season with black pepper.
