Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumber and julienned carrot.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and let them pickle for about 15 minutes.
  3. While the vegetables are pickling, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. In a pot, bring the water to a boil, add the rice, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  6. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it among plates.
  7. Top the rice with sliced chicken and the quick-pickled vegetables. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
