Ingredients

Scale
For the Spicy Chicken:
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (or hot sauce of choice)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Roasted Vegetables:
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Base (Choose One):
  • 2 cups brown rice, cooked
  • 2 cups quinoa, cooked
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice (for a low-carb option)
For the Spicy Yogurt Sauce (Optional):

 

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, sriracha, and spices. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours in the fridge).
  • Roast the Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the veggies with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F/75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Prepare the Base: Cook your choice of brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice according to package instructions.
  • Make the Spicy Yogurt Sauce: Mix all ingredients in a bowl and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Assemble the Bowls: Divide the grain base into bowls, add sliced chicken and roasted vegetables, then drizzle with the spicy yogurt sauce.

 

  • Serve & Enjoy!

Notes

  • Meal Prep: Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Protein Swap: Use shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas instead of chicken.

 

  • Extra Crunch: Add avocado, roasted chickpeas, or pumpkin seeds before serving.
