Method

Step 1

Use a sharp knife to cut each chicken breast in half horizontally. Place the pesto in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add pepitas and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2

Add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and set aside for 5 minutes to rest. Cut the chicken into slices.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place edamame and broccolini in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Set aside for 2-3 minutes or until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Step 4

Divide rice mix among serving bowls. Top with the chicken, beans, broccolini, avocado, tomatoes and spinach. Sprinkle with the pepitas and micro herbs, if using. Top with a dollop of yoghurt and extra pesto.
