What are we cooking today?

This healthy and easy recipe is a great one to prepare ahead and then just place all of the ingredients in a bowl and watch the surprise at the impressive look and taste of this delicious dish.

Getting started

Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl add all the marinade ingredients and whisk until well combined.

Place chicken into an airtight container or large freezer bag pour in the marinade.

Seal and shake to coat the chicken really well with the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight.

When you're ready to cook your chicken, add oil to a large saucepan and heat over medium-high heat.

Add in the chicken and cook until nicely browned, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes.

While your chicken is cooking, you can prepare the rest of the ingredients for the bowls.

Cook the rice. Chop the lettuce and mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Divide the rice equally among 4 serving bowls, or meal prep containers, then add in lettuce, beans, cheese and chicken as shown.

Add salsa and guacamole on side.
