Brown Rice & Chicken Salad

So, its getting really hot in Melbourne and my appetite sort of disappears a bit. Furthermore i feel like eating light & fresh meals and after holidays in portugal and Spain we certainly need to curb on our carbs...and fats and everything heavy! And this salad is quite filling, healthy, fresh and full of fiber so...go crazy!

for 4 serves:
3/4 cup brown rice, 2 chicken breasts cooked & shredded, 1 onion, 2 tbs olive oil, 1 lemon: juice & rind, 1 tbs chopped dill, 1/2 cup chopped basil, 2 cups frozen peas


1. Cook the rice, drain and place it in a large bowl;
2. Cook the peas quickly in boiling water, drain and add to the bowl;
3. Finely grate the lemon, juice it and place everything in a small bowl. Add 1 tbs olive oil and the chopped dill;
4. Heat 1 tbs olive oil in a fry pan and cook the onion previously cut in half moon slices. Cook it in low heat until its browned;
5. Add the chicken to the bowl, the onion and stir to combine.
6. Add the lemon juice mixture, the basil and some salt.
