  1. Cook rice according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl or dressing karafe and whisk or shake to combine.
  3. While rice is cooking, heat oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, tossing occasionally.
