Description
A delicious BBQ Ranch Chicken Bowl recipe that combines grilled chicken, brown rice, and fresh toppings for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 cup black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and ranch seasoning mix.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, corn, black beans, and cherry tomatoes. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the rice mixture among four bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken, diced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Drizzle additional BBQ sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños on top of the bowls.
- To make it a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use a plant-based BBQ sauce.
