  • Put stock and chicken fillets in a large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool in liquid for 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Strain. Coarsely shred chicken.

  • Cook SunRice Black Rice following absorption instructions on the packet, remove from the heat, spoon into a colander. Refresh rice in cold water, set aside in colander to drain really well.

  • Whisk lemon juice, oil, mustard in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add rice, chicken, asparagus, snow peas, green onions and parsley. Toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve.
