Method

Pickled Red Onion

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Red Onion

    In a small saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the sliced red onion. Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grill the Chicken

  1. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together ancho chili powder, salt, and olive oil. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture evenly.

  2. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Bowl
