Ingredients
  

Chicken Bowls

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Chili flakes to taste
  • 2 bell peppers sliced
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 3 –4 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Plain yogurt or sour cream for serving
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Honey Lime Vinaigrette

  • ⅓ cup salsa verde
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • Flaky salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the chicken on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, then add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and chili flakes. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season lightly with salt. Spread everything into a single layer.
  • Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender with lightly charred edges.
  • While the chicken cooks, whisk together the salsa verde, olive oil, honey, lime juice, and flaky salt until smooth.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls.
  • Top each bowl with sliced Honey Lime Chili Chicken, roasted peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and a spoonful of yogurt or sour cream.
  • Drizzle generously with the honey lime vinaigrette.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice provides the brightest flavor.
  • Store toppings separately when meal prepping.
  • Adjust chili flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
