Instructions

Step 1

1. Chicken- Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Make the marinade by combining together the yogurt, pesto, lemon zest and juice, salt and chili flakes. Add in the chicken, mix and let it marinate for 1/2 an hour or longer if you have the time.

Step 2

2. Skewer the chicken pieces tightly onto the skewers. Air fry at 400F for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken half way until golden brown and cooked through (165F internal temp).

Step 3

3. Rice- wash the rice until water runs clear then soak the rice for about 20 minutes. Put a pan on medium to high heat. Add in the olive oil, onions and sauté for a couple of minutes.

Step 4

4. Strain the rice and add it to the onions, next add in the pesto, coconut cream and mix until well combined.

Step 5

5. Pour in chicken broth and salt, mix again, cover the pan and cook until the water reduces down (it should take 10 minutes) then lower the heat to really low and cook for another 20 minutes until the rice is cooked through.

Step 6

6. Salad- combine together diced tomatoes, sliced onions, chopped parsley, lemon juice and salt.

Step 7

7. Once everything is done serve and enjoy!
