Preparation
Cook the rice
- Juice the lemon.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min.
- Add ⅓ of the lemon juice and fluff the rice.
Toast the walnuts
- Meanwhile, heat a medium, dry pan on medium.
- Add the walnuts and toast, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Transfer to a small bowl and reserve the pan.
Cook the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry; season with all but a pinch of the spices and S&P.
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the cucumbers crosswise.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the honey, remaining lemon juice and spices, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add both types of cabbage, the cucumbers and walnuts; toss well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice, chicken and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
