Ingredients

- 400 g / 2 pc average, sliced or 6 small chicken breasts
- 100 g black or other wholegrain rice, boiled
- 250 g butternut pumpkin, cubed
- 40 g ruccola

For the marinade:
- 2 oranges, juiced and one of them zested or - 175 ml fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp honey

For serving:
- Pomegranate seeds (optional)
- Almond slices (optional)
- Orange wedges

Instructions

To prepare the marinade, mix the orange juice with sriracha and salt, combine well and pour half of it in a container over the chicken. Put the chicken in the fridge to marinade while you cook the rice or over night for best results. Add honey to the other half of the marinade and set it aside.

Heat a pan with some olive oil and cook the pumpkin until golden on the sides, set aside.

In the same pan, add the chicken together with the marinade it was in, cook until the marinade has reduced and the chicken is turning golden on the sides. Then add the rest of the marindate, cover with lid and cook until the chicken is tender and the marinade has reduced to a sticky sauce.

Place ruccola on a plate, top with rice, cooked pumpkin and scriracha orange chicken.

Serve with pomegranate seeds and almond slices or regular almonds as well as fresh orange wedges.
