  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Chicken and Sauce
  • 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed about 3 cups or 1 1/2 pounds
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Veggies and Grains
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2-3 cups chopped celery
  • 2-3 cups sliced carrots
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced optional
  • 1 medium green onion stalk, chopped for garnish
  • healthy ranch dressing or crumbled blue cheese optional

Method
 

Cooking Process
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the tapioca starch, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add in the cubed chicken and toss until well coated.
  3. In a large non-stick skillet, add the avocado oil, heat over medium-high heat, and add in the chicken.
  4. Let pan fry for 5-8 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 5-8 minutes (or until the outsides are golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked). Once cooked, stir a bit to break up the pieces.
  5. While the chicken cooks, whisk the sauce ingredients in a large bowl, and set aside about 1/4 cup of the sauce.
  6. Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel to allow any excess oil to drip off.
  7. Once the oil has dripped off the chicken, add it to the large sauce bowl and toss/mix until fully coated.
  8. Assemble the bowls: evenly divide the rice, veggies, and chicken, then top with chopped green onions. Drizzle each bowl with the extra sauce and a drizzle of healthy ranch dressing (optional).
