Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cups cooked white or jasmine rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Lemon or lime slices (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Grill or pan-fry the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.
  3. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  4. Assemble the bowl: start with a base of cooked rice, then layer on sliced grilled chicken, diced avocado, and cherry tomatoes.
  5. Garnish with lemon or lime slices and fresh herbs.
  6. Squeeze citrus juice over the top if desired and serve immediately, warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use brown rice for a whole-grain alternative.
  • To prevent avocado browning, add citrus juice just before serving.
  • For meal prep, store components separately and assemble fresh.
  • Customize with your choice of protein or add-ins like black beans or corn.
  • Do not reheat avocado; always use fresh before serving.
