Tasty AF Chicken Balanced Bowl With Cauli-Rice + Roasted Veggies

Mar 13

Creating a balanced meal in a hurry can be a bit of a challenge. I have the perfect solution: The Balance Bowl. It's super simple to make and it's tasty AF!

Mondays and Wednesdays tend to be my tough workout days with killer MegaFormer session at Megaburn Fitness then death-by-boxing (aka Team Quest boxing class.) These are my two days of major sweaty AF cardio! 😅 So, as you can imagine, fueling up is key. This bowl right here, is the perfect meal. It's got the perfect balance of healthy fats, proteins, and carbs.

What You'll Need To Know

Sweet Potato:
Pre heat oven to 400F. Slice 1 sweet potato into medallions, and place in a baking dish and coat with coconut oil and season with sea salt and dried oregano. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until soft and slightly browned.
Chicken:
Rub chicken breasts with coconut oil and sprinkle both sides with salt, smoked paprika and oregano. Place chicken in a broiler pan.
Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. Remove chicken from pan and let it cool, then cut into cubes. Note: place chicken pan next to sweet potato baking dish.
Mixed Greens:
Mix together 2 cup mixed spring greens, green onion tops, and purple cabbage and toss with coconut aminos and set aside.
Note: If you are meal prepping, don’t add coconut aminos until ready to eat to avoid wilting!
Cauli-Rice:
In a food processor, add 1/2 head of cauliflower and pulse about 5-6 times until a “rice” consistency forms. Over a medium heat, melt coconut oil and add in cauli-rice and orange bell pepper and season with dried oregano and sea salt. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the bell pepper is soft.
When everything is ready, plate with cauli-rice, mixed greens, sweet potato medallions, and chicken cubes. Top with sliced avocado and chia seeds spoiled on avocado.
