Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spice mixture until well coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken strips. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini, and thinly slice the red onion.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red onion and bell pepper, sauté for about 3 minutes, then add the zucchini. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the toppings. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice thinly. Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
To assemble the chicken bowls, start by dividing the cooked cauliflower rice and vegetable mixture among four bowls.
Top each bowl with the cooked chicken strips, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowls before eating.
Enjoy your healthy and flavorful Whole30 chicken bowl!
