Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade:
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • Juice of 3 limes around 1/4 cup
  • 1 splash of Tequila
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp TJ's Chile Lime seasoning or paprika
For the Rice:
  • 1 cup rice rinsed well
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
For the Grilled Veggies:
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 red onion
  • 1/4 C Avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika
Additional Ingredients:
  • 1 can Black Beans rinsed
  • Avocado
  • Salsa
Instructions

  1. Start with marinating the chicken. Add all marinade ingredients to a mason jar and give it a good shake. Place chicken and pour marinade into a large zip-lock bag. Set aside for at least 30 mins. 

  2. Next, prepare the veggies for the grill. Slice 2 bell peppers and 1 whole onion. Toss them in 1/4 cup oil and seasonings. Use grill basket or aluminum foil pouch for the grill (or simply saute the veggies on the stove!)

  3. Preheat the grill to med-high to get the grates nice and hot.
  4. Rinse the rice and add to a saucepan. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a low boil. Give it a good stir, reduce heat to low, place the top on the pan, and cook for about 15-18 minutes. (Or use a rice cooker.)
  5. Place chicken and veggies on the grill. Reduce heat to medium and close lid. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, checking every 5 minutes if you are worried your food might catch on fire, not that I would know from experience or anything. Flip chicken and stir veggies 1/2 way through. When cooked through, set aside to "rest."

  6. Drain, rinse, and heat beans in a small saucepan. Add a little salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and a splash of water to spice things up.

  7. Add lime juice and cilantro to your now cooked rice.

  8. Assemble bowls! Start with rice, add chopped chicken, grilled veggies, beans, and avocado and/or salsa on top! (Cauliflower rice would be a great low carb/whole 30 substitute in this recipe.)
