Tailgate Chicken and Tuscan Rice Salad
Ingredients
  • 2
    cups water
  • 1
    cup long grain rice
  • 1
    2 1/4 ounce can sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 1/2
    cup roasted red sweet peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1/2
    cup cooked or canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
  • 1/4
    cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1
    6 - 6 1/2 ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts
  • 12
    ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size strips
  • 2
    teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2
    teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2
    cup crumbled feta cheese with basil and tomato or crumbled plain feta (2 ounces)
Directions

1. Combine the water and rice in a medium saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Place rice in colander; rinse with cold water. Set aside to drain.

2. Combine olives, roasted sweet peppers, chickpeas, and green onions in a large bowl. Drain artichokes, reserving marinade. Chop artichokes; add to olive mixture along with cooked rice.

3. Sprinkle chicken with chili powder and rosemary. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved artichoke marinade in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until no longer pink. Add chicken to rice mixture along with remaining artichoke marinade. Add feta cheese, tossing gently to combine. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Makes 6 servings.
