Lean Protein Boost: Grilled chicken serves as a lean protein source, essential for muscle health and satiety, supporting weight management.
Whole Grain Goodness: Brown rice offers complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, fibre for digestion, and essential nutrients.
Vitamins Galore: Colourful bell peppers (capsicum) and tomatoes bring a vitamin C punch. Supporting immune health, skin vitality, and overall well-being.
Nutrient-Rich Avocado: Avocado contributes healthy fats, including monounsaturated fats, promoting heart health and aiding nutrient absorption.
Fibre-Rich Black Beans: Black beans are packed with fibre, aiding digestion, regulating blood sugar, and contributing to a healthy gut.
Crunchy Cos Lettuce: Shredded cos lettuce adds a refreshing crunch. And is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense option rich in vitamins and minerals.
Natural Sweetness of Corn: Corn provides natural sweetness and dietary fibre, supporting digestive health and providing essential nutrients.
Zesty Citrus Dressing: The citrus dressing offers a burst of flavour and adds vitamin C, antioxidants, and healthy fats from olive oil.
To kick off the recipe, create a flavourful Grilled Chicken Marinade. Combine lime juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt. Coat chicken evenly, letting it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
This step not only infuses delicious flavours but also tenderises the chicken, ensuring a juicy and mouthwatering result on the grill.
Instead of plain white rice, I go for tastier options. I go for coconut and turmeric-infused rice for added flavour. Plus, I opt for brown rice for extra fibre, making the dish not only more delicious but also a lot healthier.
This dish is a meal prep winner, offering a perfect balance of lean protein, wholesome grains, and vibrant veggies.
For optimal freshness, prepare the components in advance—marinate the chicken, cook the rice, and chop vegetables.
Assemble the bowl just before serving to maintain freshness. The dressing can be stored separately and added just before enjoying to keep the flavours at their best.
