Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, add a splash of olive oil. Heat over medium heat, then add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice at the bottom. Top with the sautéed vegetables and sliced grilled chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
