Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water and 1 tsp salt (double the water and salt for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Make the roasted pepper sauce
Meanwhile, finely chop the roasted pepper. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops. In a small bowl, combine the roasted pepper, garlic, ½ the white bottoms of the scallions, ½ the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the salad
Large-dice the tomato. Cut the radishes into ½ inch wedges. In a large bowl, combine the remaining white bottoms of the scallions and vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the tomato, radishes and baby greens; toss well.
Finish & serve
To the pot of rice, add the green tops of the scallions; stir well. Divide the rice, chicken and salad between your plates. Serve the roasted pepper sauce on the side. Bon appétit!
