For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have roasted chicken flavored rice, you can substitute with plain rice and add a dash of chicken bouillon for flavor.
To toast pine nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Watch closely as they can burn quickly.
