Ingredients
- 2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 Cup Cooked Brown Rice
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
- 1 Small Avocado, sliced
- 2 Cups Mixed Greens
- ½ Cup Black Beans
- ½ Cup Canned corn, drained, or grilled
- ⅓ Cup Cherry Tomatoes, cut into quarters
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- ½ Red onion, diced
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper, sliced
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- A small handful of chopped cilantro, plus more to garnish
- For the Chicken Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cumin
- ¼ teaspoon Chili Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Dried Oregano
- A pinch of salt and pepper, or to taste
Instructions
1. In a ziploc bag, mix all marinade ingredients until smooth.
2. Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seal the bag, and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 5–7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
4. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
5. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup cooked brown rice with 1 tablespoon lime juice, a small handful of chopped cilantro, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Toss to combine and set aside.
7. To assemble the bowls, add 2 cups mixed greens at the bottom of each bowl, then one sliced chicken breast.
8. Divide the remaining ingredients between the 2 bowls: avocado, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, Greek yogurt, and diced red onion.
9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeño. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Chicken: The chicken can be either pan-seared or grilled. Feel free to use boneless chicken thighs or any other protein of your choice.
Corn: If you can use freshly grilled corn it would be even better. But canned or frozen corn will work.
Black or pinto beans work well.
Any rice will work, but if looking for a low-carb option, you may use cauliflower rice.
