Method
- Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions (typically 1 part rice to 2 parts water) for about 30 minutes until tender but firm.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced chicken to the frying pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C / 165°F).
- Add the sliced zucchini and cabbage to the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed; this will create a smooth drizzle for your dish.
- Once everything is cooked, fluff the brown rice with a fork and divide it among four plates. Top each with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Drizzle the tahini lemon sauce over the top, garnish with chopped parsley, and, if desired, sprinkle with chili flakes for heat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and nutritious meal!

Notes
If you're short on time, feel free to use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a quick option.
Different vegetables can also come into play here; feel free to swap the zucchini and cabbage for whatever you have like bell peppers or spinach.
For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days—simply reheat in the microwave until warmed through, and enjoy!
Remember, cooking is all about experimentation, so make this recipe your own!
