Ingredients
2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
1 ripe avocado, sliced
½ cup cucumber, diced
½ cup cherry tomatoes, diced
2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and lime juice, then mix to make fresh salsa.
Assemble bowls by layering rice, sliced chicken, avocado, and salsa.
Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
For meal prep, store chicken, rice, and salsa separately and assemble before serving. Add a drizzle of cilantro-lime dressing for extra flavor.
