Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cubed
2 ripe avocados, sliced
2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: While the chicken cooks, prepare the base by fluffing the cooked quinoa or rice and dividing it into four serving bowls.
Step 4: Top each bowl with the cooked chicken, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and red onion.
Step 5: Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving your delicious chicken avocado bowl recipe.
Notes
To keep the avocado from browning in leftovers, squeeze extra lime juice over it and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
