Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over the chicken, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil, then add the rinsed rice. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken rests, steam the broccoli florets for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with Dijon mustard and chopped chives to make the dressing.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls.
Top each bowl with slices of grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and diced avocado.
Drizzle the yogurt dressing over each bowl or serve it on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free flavorful chicken bowl!
