Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF and line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; set aside.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In shallow dish combine honey, coconut aminos (or tamari/soy sauce), oil, ginger and garlic. Place chicken in dish flipping over to coat; let marinate for 15-20 minutes or overnight.
  3. Cook your grains: Meanwhile, cook the grains according to package instructions.
  4. Prep your veggies: Cut broccoli and sweet potatoes; toss them in oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place on lined baking pan and roast for about 20 minutes. Slice red bell pepper and dice red onion; set those aside.
  5. Cook the chicken: Once the chicken has marinated for about 15 minutes, remove chicken from marinade dish (save the marinade for next step) and place in preheated skillet; cook on medium heat about 4 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Transfer chicken to cutting board and cool before cutting into chunks.
  6. Cook down marinade:  Pour marinade into skillet and cook on medium-high heat, bringing the marinade to a boil. (Don't worry! This will kill the bacteria from the raw chicken breast). Whisk marinade for about 1 minute while simmering, until marinade is thick and sticky. Then return cooked/cut chicken to pan and stir to coat; turn off stovetop and let the chicken rest in skillet.
  7. Make your dressing: Add all of the dressing ingredients to blender/food processor until smooth.
  8. Assemble the bowls :Place greens, grains, veggies and honey ginger chicken in bowls. Then top with avocado, freshly cracked black pepper, sesame seeds and the creamy lime dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • GLUTEN-FREE - make sure to use quinoa or rice. Use cauliflower rice for a paleo-friendly option.
  • MEAT-FREE OPTION - try subbing chicken for tempeh or tofu. I haven't tried that myself, but I am betting you could marinate and cook the tempeh the same way as the chicken.
  • Nutrition info approximate, based on 4 servings calculated with 2 tablespoons dressing.
