Ingredients

• 400 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup brown rice
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium lime
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken breast. Trim any excess fat and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of ginger powder. Toss to coat the chicken thoroughly, then set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, rinse the brown rice under cold water and cook it according to package instructions using a rice cooker or a saucepan.

Step 4

Wash and core the red bell pepper, then cut it into thin strips. Slice the zucchini into half-moons, and peel and julienne the carrot.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add all the vegetables: red bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets, and carrot. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything together, allowing the flavors to combine for 2 more minutes.

Step 8

To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with the chicken and vegetable stir-fry.

Step 9

Finish by squeezing fresh lime juice over each bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat flavorful chicken bowl.
