Clean swaps
How we upgrade the restaurant version with better ingredients.
- Canola or soybean oil (typical restaurant) → Avocado oil — Avoids inflammatory industrial seed oils.
- Refined white rice → Organic brown rice — Provides higher fiber content and a lower glycemic index.
- Sour cream with stabilizers → Organic plain greek yogurt — Adds probiotics and eliminates artificial preservatives.
Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to package instructions using water or a high-quality bone broth.
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed chicken with avocado oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and lime juice.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated chicken until fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes).
- While chicken cooks, sauté the rinsed black beans with the minced garlic in a small pan for 3-5 minutes.
- Create a fresh salsa by tossing together the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and chili flakes.
- Assemble each bowl by layering the brown rice, sautéed black beans, cooked chicken, and the tomato-avocado salsa.
- Top with a dollop of greek yogurt and extra cilantro before serving.
