Grilled Chicken Summer Rice Bowls Recipes

GRILLED CITRUS CHICKEN RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, orange zest, salt, sugar, and pepper.
• Place chicken in a zip-top bag and add 3 tablespoons of the citrus dressing. Seal bag and flip a few times to make sure the chicken is fully coated. Marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
• Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Take chicken out of bag and dab any excess marinade on a paper towel. If the chicken is dripping with marinade when it goes on the grill, chances are it will burn. Grill chicken 7-8 minutes on each side or until chicken reaches 165° F. Remove from grill and slice thinly on the bias.
• In a large bowl, combine rice, carrots, sugar snap peas, and scallions. Add 4 tablespoons of the citrus dressing and gently toss to combine.
• Serve chicken over rice and drizzle with remaining dressing, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook rice in broth according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the green pepper and onion in oil for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in the chicken, corn, peas, basil and sage. Cook, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes over medium heat or until heated through. Stir in the rice, salt and pepper.

GRILLED CHICKEN SUMMER RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl, baking dish or resealable bag.
• Combine the cilantro lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, pepper flakes and olive oil in a blender until combined. Pour half of the mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Place the extra dressing in the fridge. If I'm cooking the jasmine rice, this is where I prep it!
• Preheat the grill to high for at least 10 minutes. I like mine around 500 or 550 degrees!
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grates and grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• While the chicken grills, I also like to throw some corn on the cob directly on the grill. I grill it for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. You can use corn straight from the cob, a steamed bag of frozen corn or canned - whatever you love!
• Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing or chopping it.
• To assemble the meal, place the rice in a bowl. Top with some of the grilled chicken, the corn, tomatoes, avocado and pickled onions. Drizzle with the extra dressing and sprinkle on salt and pepper (if needed) and serve. Enjoy!
