This dish contains folic acid that helps the proper functioning of the brain. You can prepare it the night before and store it in a container. Make sure the container has dividers so the flavors of the chicken and rice do not mix.

Cut thin slices of the green zucchini. Add oil to a pot and sauté 1 garlic clove and ¼ of the finely chopped onion. Add the rice and sauté it lightly. Add ½ cup of water, the zucchini, and a little salt. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat. Let it cook on low heat for 20 minutes. After that time, uncover the pot and carefully stir the rice with the help of a fork. Heat the remaining ¼ onion, the garlic, the chili, and the tomatillos. Place the roasted vegetables in the blender with ¼ cup of water or skimmed chicken broth. Blend until you get a sauce. Add a little vegetable oil to a pan and cook the chicken breast, pouring the green sauce on top and cooking for about 5 minutes. Serve the chicken breast alongside the rice.
