These are so versatile and feel free to add your own touch to them. The idea is to have a complete meal in one bowl that is quick on time and doesn’t cause your brain cells to hurt.

It’s a nice amount of replenishing carbs, some veggies, and a protein.

INGREDIENTS:

4-8 Ounces of chicken thighs or breast is you prefer. (Any protein will do here)

1 -2 Cups of cooked rice basmati and jasmine are easiest to digest (4 ounces cooked is 2 dry and a about a cup in your plate)

Approx 1/4 cup each of Diced Tomatoes, Peppers, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Cucumbers (Whatever you have on hand honestly)

1-2 TBS of quality Italian Dressing (I like the whole foods brand with olive oil)

1-2 TBS of Shredded Parmesan (Buy the block of it and shred it yourself to get quality and no additives)

1 TBS of BBQ Sauce or seasoning of choice for the protein

Optional Add ins: Black beans, green beans, asparagus, other cheeses, corn (organic), chickpeas, just about anything you want here, even a delicious fried egg. You can add in or swap for cauliflower rice if you want to be sad, but seriously eat the carbs and fuel your body, have the rice.

Optional Ad-ins depend on your digestive needs. Simple is sometimes better and easier to digest.

INSTRUCTIONS:

While prepping your veggies, cook your rice and chicken. I air fry mine tossed with some bbq sauce but make it how you like it.

Chop your veggies into bite size pieces and marinate them in the Italian dressing.

Once it’s all ready, plate it with rice first, then veggies and dressing poured over, chicken cut up on top and top with cheese if you do dairy. Fresh herbs work great here too.

This is a simple easy meal ready in a flash.
