Ingredients

Servings

For the pickled red onions

  • 1 red onion large, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

For the rice

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion small, diced
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups basmati rice or jasmine rice
  • 3-6 tsp beet juice (adjust based on how pink you'd like the rice)

For the ground chicken

  • 900 g ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Toppings

  • 1 pint cherry tomato halved
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 3 avocado halved
  • 19 oz black beans canned, drained and rinsed

Instructions

For the pickled red onions

  1. Combine the thinly sliced red onion, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, honey and salt in a glass jar or bowl and stir. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.

For the rice

  1. Put a medium pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Once warm, add diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes to soften.
  2. Stir in the salt.
  3. Stir in the rice and stir frequently, until the rice is evenly coated, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Turn to low heat and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-18 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the beet juice (adjust beet juice 3-6 tsp depending on the depth of pink colour you’d like) fluff with a fork and put the lid on for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, remove the lid and fluff with a fork and set aside. 

For the ground chicken

  1. Add oil to a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the diced red onions and garlic and saute 3-5 minutes to soften, stirring often. Add the ground chicken/ground turkey, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and cook, breaking up the ground meat as you cook, until cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Set aside.

Assemble the bowls

  1. Once all of your ingredients have been prepped, divide all ingredients evenly between 6 meal prep containers (use half an avocado per container).

Notes

  • Mix and match ingredients in this bowl to your desired tastes! If black beans aren't your favourite, try chickpeas or white beans. Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt if desired. Use ground turkey instead of ground chicken. You can truly make this bowl your own!
