Grilled Chicken and Brown Rice Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced zucchini
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the grilled chicken slices, sautéed vegetables, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the bowls. Enjoy!
