Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Chicken

   Take a ready-cooked hot chicken from the deli department, strip all the meat off, and shred it into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

2. 2.Cook Rice

   Cook 2 cups of brown rice in a rice cooker or according to package instructions. You can use any type of rice or even microwaveable rice pouches. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a spoon and set it aside to cool slightly.

3. 3.Prepare Dressing

   In a small mixing jug, combine 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

4. 4.Assemble Salad

   Transfer the warm rice into a large salad bowl. Add a small bag (about 60g) of baby spinach leaves, the shredded chicken, 2 chopped spring onions, and 1 cup of mini yellow and red tomatoes.

5. 5.Dress and Toss

   Carefully pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Using two salad spoons, gently toss everything together to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed and all ingredients are combined.
