This rice salad is packed with flavor and hearty enough to be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge to eat later. It is perfect to pack in a lunch box for work or school! Any leftover chicken can be used to make this recipe, but if you don't have any, make a batch of Simple Seared Chicken, or Basic Baked Chicken.

½ cups shaved parmesan cheese
½ cups thinly sliced fresh basil thinly sliced
