DIRECTIONS
Marinade/Chicken:
- Place marinade ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Place the chicken and marinade in a ziplock bag and massage well until evenly coated. Marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes to 24 hours.
Remove chicken breasts from ziplock bag and discard the remaining marinade. - Heat skillet (or grill) over medium to medium-high heat and cook each side of chicken 5 to 6 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165° F.
- Let chicken rest 5 to 10 minutes before dicing into 1” pieces on cutting board.
Rice
- Bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth and rice to boil. Reduce heat to low and allow water to simmer, cover, and cook rice until the water is absorbed – about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add remaining rice ingredients and stir until well combined. Set Aside.
Assemble by dividing chicken, rice, and bowl ingredients evenly between 4 bowls.
