Instructions
Making the Summer Grilled Chicken and Rice Bowl is simple, especially when following these steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, coating thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Grill the Vegetables: Meanwhile, toss the mixed vegetables in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables alongside the chicken until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Cook the Rice: If you haven’t already, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into strips.
7. Assemble the Bowl: In each bowl, layer cooked rice, grilled chicken slices, and a generous serving of grilled vegetables.
8. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for a zesty kick.
