Return pork to skillet, stir.

Pour in stir-fry sauce and mix until it is well distributed.

Reduce heat to low and simmer until pork is fully cooked.

Serve.

Cooking instructions of lentils can vary. Follow package instructions if possible.

(Note: Follow rice package instructions if they differ from below)

Add the rice, water, and a pinch of salt to a pot and stir.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and serve.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a bowl, blend the olive oil and garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture.

Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

In a saucepan with a good fitting lid bring water and salt to a boil.

Add rice and stir.

Cover and reduce heat to medium low. You will know that your temperature is correct if a little steam is visible leaking from the lid. A lot of steam means your heat is too high.

Cook for 20 minutes.

DO NOT LIFT LID!

The steam that is trapped inside the pan is what allows the rice to cook properly.

Remove from heat and fluff with fork, mix in butter, and season to taste with pepper. Serve.

BROILED/GRILLED: Set oven to broil and preheat on high. Broil chicken 3-8 minutes on each side. Actual time will vary based on thickness of breasts and proximity to the heating element.

ALL: Finally, let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before you cut it. Serve.

If you want to prepare multiple servings in advance, you can shred the carrots and lettuce and slice the onion in advance and store them in the fridge in a ziploc bag or tupperware container so you just have to dice a little cucumber and tomato and add a little dressing the next time.
