Ingredients

For the Chicken (see note):

For the Bowls:

For Serving;

  • pico de gallo or salsa of choice
  • guacamole
  • grated cheese optional

Instructions

Bake the Chicken:

  • Add the chicken, oil, spices and sea salt to a zip lock bag and seal the bag. Give it a shake to distribute the oil and seasonings. If you have the time, refrigerate 15 minutes, up to 8 hours, to marinate.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place chicken breasts in a casserole dish and bake 30 to 40 minutes (depending on thickness). Once the chicken is cooked through, allow it to rest at least 10 minutes on a cutting board to allow the juices to distribute throughout the meat. This will help keep the chicken nice and moist!

Prepare the Bowls:

  • While the chicken is baking, steam the rice.
  • While both the chicken and rice are cooking, prepare your bowl essentials. Saute the kale in a small amount of oil with sea salt. Whip up the guacamole and salsa (or use store-bought), and heat up the black beans. If you’re doing the cheese, grate up your cheese!
  • Compile the bowls by adding desired amount of brown rice, chicken, sauteed kale, salsa, guacamole, and cheese to a big bowl. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note: You can save yourself some time by using store=bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken.
