Instructions
What we had for dinner tonight, which was really leftovers thrown into a baking dish and made interesting with a squeeze of tangy lemon juice, white wine and piquant green olives. If the cheese gets OTT, the lemon helps slice through the heaviness. And the sesame seeds, well... they just smell so damn good.

- While rice is cooking, brown chicken in a pan on high heat with olive oil. Set chicken aside.
- Fry onion with olive oil on medium heat till translucent. Add garlic and mushroom and fry till fragrant.
- Add lemon juice, rind and white wine.
- Add chicken and coat in juices.
- Add broccoli and capsicum, cook until broccoli is bright green.

- Add cooked brown rice and stir to combine.
