Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet or Frying Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Chicken Breast, Cubed
  • 4 Cups Cooked White Rice
  • 1 Ripe Avocado
  • ⅓ Cup Korean Style BBQ Sauce I used the brand Primal Kitchen. Feel free to use your own homemade recipe!
  • 3 Teaspoons Sesame Seeds

Vegetable Salad

  • 1 English Cucumber, Peeled into thin strips.
  • 2-3 Carrots, Peeled into thin strips.
  • 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the cubed chicken breast into a large bowl with the Korean BBQ Sauce. Mix together until chicken is thoroughly coated.
  • Next, cook the chicken breast on a cast iron skillet or frying pan until golden brown. (Or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.) Add more sauce as needed.
  • To make the simple vegetable salad, add thinly sliced or thinly peeled carrots and cucumbers to a bowl with apple cider vinegar and salt. Stir together until the vegetables are evenly coated. Chill until you're ready to serve.
  • Assemble the bowls by adding rice, chicken, avocado, and vegetable salad. Top with sesame seeds or thinly sliced green onion for garnish!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Make the cucumber and carrot salad ahead of time to allow the flavors to marinate.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight for a stronger flavor.
  • To meal prep, make the chicken, rice, and vegetable salad ahead of time. Place in individual containers for grab and go meals throughout the week.
  • Do not overcook the chicken or it will dry out and not be as juicy and flavorful!
  • Stir in extra sauce with the cooked chicken for a bold flavor.

How To Store Leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
