  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomato and cut into 1/4" dice.

    In a mixing bowl, combine tomato and pesto.

    Pat diced chicken dry and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add diced chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Add cream to pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in cheese until incorporated.

    For best results, pierce brown rice bag a few times with a knife, then break up rice inside the bag. Add rice and stir to combine. Stir occasionally until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.

    Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
