Chicken, Arugula & Rice Bowls


This recipe is a version of
Ben's Chicken, Bacon & Rice Bowls

Crumbled Cooked Sausage
(because we aren't fans of bacon even it's our last name!)
3/4 cup uncooked rice
1-1/2 cup low-sodium broth
2 chicken breasts, cut in bite-size pieces
Salt & Pepper
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4-6 cups washed arugula

Cook rice in rice cooker; or, bring broth to a boil.  Add rice, cover, turn heat to medium-low and cook 15-20 minutes until rice has absorbed all the liquid.  Fluff with fork.  Meanwhile, heat skillet with oil.  Salt & pepper chicken and cook until completely done ~ about  10 minutes.  Add minced garlic & arugula and wilt the greens.  This takes no longer than a couple minutes.  Do not overcook.  Divide rice into bowls. Add chicken/arugula mixture on top.  Finally, sprinkle with sausage.

NOTE: We also tried the recipe with spinach and enjoyed it, as well.
