Basil Chicken and Rice Salad
"This salad was inspired by Fluffy's Basil Tomato Salad #53427. I tweaked it to fit the Jorge Cruise 3 hour diet plan and added chicken to make this a one dish meal. Great to make ahead as the flavors really improve with time. I like to make this the night before and then I have it for lunch the next day. The cooking time is for the chicken if using fresh and for the rice. The 2/3 cup rice is measured after cooking.Bon Appetite!"
