Mediterranean Chicken-And-Brown Rice Salad
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain brown rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 (10 1/2-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth
- 2 cups coarsely chopped plum tomato
- 1 3/4 cups cubed ready-to-eat roasted skinned, boned chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped ripe olives
- 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (19-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, and saute for 3 minutes. Add rice, and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the water and broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 45 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Spoon into a large bowl; fluff with a fork. Add tomato and remaining ingredients, and toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
