Directions

  1. Rinse wild rice; place in a medium saucepan with stock; bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to a simmer; cover and cook for 30 min. Add in the chicken breasts and scallions and cook another 15 min, turning chicken pcs occasionally. Drain; remove chicken to cold. Season rice with lemon juice and salt and pepper. Set aside to cold.
  3. Make dressing: Heat 1 Tbsp. of oil in a medium skillet and add in the spices and the minced almonds, stirring for 3-5 min till the spices are fragrant. Transfer to a shaker jar and add in the rest of the oil and other dressing ingredients. Shake thoroughly.
  4. Put the rice in a large bowl; fluffing it. Add in the red pepper, snow peas and the toasted almond slivers. Cut the chicken into bite-size pcs and add in to the rice. Combine most of the dressing with the rice-chicken mix-save a little to drizzle on the radicchio c..
  5. Place radicchio c. on individual salad plates, filling each with the rice-chicken mix; drizzle with the remainder of the dressing. Garnish with additional almond slivers, red peppers and blue cheese, if you like.
