Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Brown Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes. In a bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and sliced cucumber.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Zen Bowl

    In a serving bowl, layer the cooked brown rice at the base. Top with the sliced chicken, followed by the steamed vegetables. Add sliced avocado, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

  2. 6

    Add Sauce

    Drizzle Sriracha over the top to taste, ensuring a nice kick to your Chicken Zen Bowl.
