Chicken Rice Salad II image

Another one of those I wonder how this would taste moments. Where crispy meets soft and hot meets cold. It turned out better than I had hoped for. A cheap meal that's really easy and filling. Serve with the dressing of your choice.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ head lettuce, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut the chicken into bite size pieces.
  • Toss chicken, rice, and lettuce in a large bowl. Serve immediately.
