  tomatoes to the cooked rice.~ 2. Cut the chicken breasts into thin
  cutlets. Dip in lemon juice and coat with bread crumbs. Heat olive
  oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic and shallots and saute about two
  minutes. Add chicken and brown for about 5 minutes on each side. Mix
  the Italian dressing and the peppercorns and add to the chicken. Keep
  warm.~ 3. Heat the beans and drain the liquid. In a separate pan,
  steam peppers, asparagus, and snow peas for approximately 5 minutes.~
  4. Line a platter with lettuce leaves. Cover with a layer of rice, a
  layer of beans, a layer of vegetables and finally the chicken mixture.
