Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Carrot
• 4 small Radishes
• 1 cup Red cabbage
• 2 stalks Scallions
• 1 large Lime
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt and the rinsed rice, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the cucumber, carrot, radishes, and red cabbage. Dice the avocado and slice the scallions. Set aside the prepped vegetables.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and juice from half of the lime. Add the chili flakes for some heat, if desired.

Step 5

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the prepared dressing. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Step 6

To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls as the base.

Step 7

Top the rice with cooked chicken cubes and arrange the sliced cucumber, carrot, radishes, red cabbage, and diced avocado around the chicken.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining dressing over each bowl.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions and a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top.

Step 10

Serve immediately, enjoying the freshness and vibrant flavors of your Soy-Free Chicken Poke Bowl.
