BBQ Chicken Bowls are an easy meal prep meal for the week! This delicious and healthy recipe is a favorite of Hayley Lucero (@realfoodwithaltitude) and inspired by her love of BBQ chicken pizza.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 chicken breasts, shredded
- 2 cups Cooked rice, cauliflower or regular
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 Red onion thinly sliced
- 1 Jalapeno sliced
- 1 Avocado sliced
- 1 cup Pineapple Chopped
- 6 Pepperoncini sliced
- Cilantro garnish
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
DIRECTIONS
-
Cook your desired rice according to the package (brown rice, cauliflower rice, etc).
-
While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan to medium heat. Then add the onions. Saute for about 5 minutes.
-
When onions are fork-tender, add the chopped pineapple to the pan. Let this warm in the pan for about 3 minutes. The pineapple may get slightly brown in the pan and that is ok, do not cook it until it is mushy.
-
Warm the chicken either in a pan or the microwave with 3/4 cup of the BBQ sauce (save the rest for topping). Make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated with sauce and heated through.
-
Assemble your bowl! Add the rice and chicken, then add pineapple, onion, jalapenos, pepperoncinis, avocado and cilantro.
-
Top with extra BBQ sauce and serve. Enjoy!
NOTES
- Use left over chicken for an easy weeknight meal.
- If you are doing a Whole30 serve it over cauliflower rice or lettuce, if not then you can also serve it over any grain!
- Use any veggies you like in this. I like things spicy so I added a few peppers.
