Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 small avocado, sliced
  • 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cilantro and mixed greens for assembly

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a ziplock bag, combine olive oil, lime juice, paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, seal, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Grill the chicken: Heat a grill pan to medium-high. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. Assemble the bowl: Fluff rice and mix with 1 tsp lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. In each bowl, layer mixed greens, rice, grilled chicken strips, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for juiciness; substitutable rice options include quinoa or cauliflower rice. Greece yogurt can be replaced with non-dairy yogurt. Serve with tortilla chips or extra lime for customization.
