Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2/3 cup uncooked brown rice
- 1/4 pound chicken tenderloins, about 2 to 3 pieces or 4 ounces tofu, cubed
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 sheet toasted nori, cut or torn into small pieces
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon barley miso
Method
Combine broth, 2/3 cup water, rice and chicken into a medium pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until rice is almost tender, about 35 minutes.
Scatter broccoli and carrots over the top, cover and continue to cook until vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.
Transfer broccoli and carrots to a plate, and then shred chicken, stirring it into the rice.
Spoon rice and chicken into a large bowl and attractively arrange broccoli, carrots, peppers, avocado and nori on top.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice and miso; drizzle over bowl, or serve on the side for dipping.
