- 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.

- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the grain base into bowls, add sliced chicken and roasted vegetables, then drizzle with the spicy yogurt sauce.
- Serve & Enjoy!
