Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Halal-certified chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated or ground)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice (or quinoa for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chili flakes, a squeeze of lime juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, ginger, black pepper, salt, and paprika to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it gets coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour for best flavors.
  3. While the chicken marinates, prepare the rice or quinoa according to the package instructions.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining liquid. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. During the chicken’s resting time, prepare your vegetables. Slice the avocado, cucumber, and tomatoes. Shred the carrots and red cabbage, then chop the cilantro and green onions.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide your cooked rice or quinoa amongst 4 bowls. Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken, pineapple chunks, avocado slices, shredded carrots, cabbage, cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  7. Garnish each bowl with cilantro, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, chili flakes, and a squeeze of lime juice for an added burst of flavor.
