Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce.
• Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Quarter lemon. Roughly chop cilantro. Drizzle tomato with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Massage grain blend in package; partially open top. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Slice chicken crosswise and place on a microwave-safe plate; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave grain blend and chicken until heated through, 2-3 minutes. (Microwave in batches for 4 servings.) Fluff grains with a fork and season with salt.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine crème fraîche, mayonnaise, half the garlic powder (all for 4 servings), juice from one lemon wedge (juice from two lemon wedges for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Divide grain blend between bowls. Top with chicken, marinated tomato, and garlicky white sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
