Lemony Chicken & Kale Brown Rice Bow

Ingredients

1 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

¼ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

¼ teaspoon black pepper, divided

1 garlic clove, minced

½ cup microwavable brown rice

2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cups coarsely chopped lacinato kale

2 teaspoons fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons prepared guacamole

¼ cup navel or blood orange slices

Directions

Combine chicken, lemon juice, mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and garlic in a large ziplock plastic bag; seal. Chill 1 hour, or let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Heat brown rice according to package directions. Stir in parsley, lemon zest and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Add chicken, and cook until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°F, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to a cutting board, and cut into slices.

Reduce heat to medium. Add kale to pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in brown rice mixture and orange juice; cook, stirring often, until heated through, about 1 minute. Place kale mixture in a bowl. Top with chicken, guacamole, and orange slices.
