- Start with cooking the brown rice in the double amount of water. This takes the longest, about 25-30 minutes. By then we will be ready with the rest of the lunch.
- Finely chop the garlic and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Remove the edges of the bread, and cut the crumb into cubes.
- Roast the pine nuts briefly in the pan until golden brown and fragrant. Then set them aside.
- Heat some olive oil in a pan and fry the garlic and croutons in it. Set them aside when they are a nice golden brown.
- Pour some more oil into the pan and then fry the chicken strips in it. Turn them regularly until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Meanwhile, mix the arugula salad with the juice of half a lemon and a little olive oil.
- Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup and white wine vinegar. You can add even more flavor with additional spices.
- Arrange the arugula salad on plates and make a round with the pepper mill over it.
- Arrange the chicken strips, croutons, cherry tomatoes and rice on top of the salad. Leave some space in the middle for the mayonnaise.
- Garnish with the pine nuts and an extra round of pepper mill.
