Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
- 2.Dice chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried thyme. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- 3.Add diced chicken to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside, leaving any drippings.
- 4.Add chopped onion to the same pot and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5.Stir in the rinsed brown rice, lentils, and rolled oats. Pour in the chicken broth and add the remaining dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice and lentils are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6.Return the cooked chicken to the pot with the rice and lentil mixture. Stir gently to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
- 7.Serve the hearty chicken, lentil, and oat pilaf hot, topped with the roasted broccoli florets.
