Ingredients
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup cooked white rice
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and lime juice. Let it marinate for 5 minutes.
2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Remove and rest.
3. In the same pan, add remaining olive oil. Cook sliced red and yellow bell peppers for 4-5 minutes until tender and charred. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Layer cooked rice in a bowl. Add sliced chicken, grilled peppers, and avocado slices.
5. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
For a vegan option, use grilled tofu instead of chicken.
