Pan-Fried Chicken With Steamed Vegetables

• 2-4 organic chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2-3 carrots (chopped in half moons)
• Handful snap peas in pod
• Several broccoli pieces
• Several Cauliflower pieces
• 1 lemon (optional)

1. Cook brown rice as package instructs (try cooking with fresh chicken or vegetable broth for a bit more flavour).
2. Steam veggies until slightly soft.
3. Heat coconut oil in a stainless steel, over-safe fry pan on med-high.
4. Pan fry the chicken on one side for about 5-7 min (until cooked about half way through).
5. Flip the chicken and fry for another 5-7 min (until cooked through).
6. If you still have any pesto left from earlier in the week, try spreading a bit on the chicken as you serve.
7. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the chicken and veggies for a splash of flavour if you like.
8. *Alternate cooking option - If you have an indoor grill, you could grill the chicken instead on pan frying.
