Ingredients

For the seasoning:

  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper

For the chicken:

For the bowls:

  • 6 cups spinach , (or greens of choice)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Make the seasoning by mixing the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Season chicken on both sides with seasoning mix.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add avocado oil. Once hot, place chicken thighs in and cook, undisturbed, for 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Prep greens, cilantro, onion, lime and avocados as noted. 
  • Place avocados, 1/2 of the diced red onion (1/4 onion total) and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix together well, slightly smashing the avocado. Squeeze in a couple of lime wedges. Taste and season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Prepare cauliflower rice by heating the same skillet you cooked the chicken in over medium heat. If needed, add some avocado oil to the skillet. Once hot, add cauliflower rice and salsa and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes until the rice is softened and warm. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Chop chicken into bite sized strips and make your bowls. Start with a bed of greens and add in everything else - chicken, cauli rice, red onion, cilantro, and mashed avocados. Serve with lime wedges.
