Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 cup mixed greens spinach, arugula, or lettuce
  • 1/4 cup chimichurri sauce store-bought or homemade
For the chimichurri sauce:
  • 1 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts.
  2. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the chimichurri sauce by combining parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, layer the cooked brown rice, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, corn, and diced avocado.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle with chimichurri sauce before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes to the chimichurri sauce or serve with sliced jalapeños.
  • Substitute quinoa or cauliflower rice for a different base, or use grilled vegetables instead of mixed greens for added flavor and texture.
