Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pan.
Cover, reduce the heat and simmer, turning once, until cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Remove the chicken, let cool slightly, then cut into 1/2 inch chunks.
Add the pine nuts, rice, chicken, scallions, parsley, lemon zest and dressing to the large bowl and gently stir to mix.
