Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl: A Flavorful, Nutritious Meal

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
2. Cook the Rice:

While the chicken is grilling, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water (or chicken broth for extra flavor) to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes (or according to the package instructions). Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
3. Assemble the Rice Bowl:

In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, layer the cooked rice as the base.
Top the rice with the grilled chicken strips, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red bell pepper slices.
If desired, add avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for extra freshness.
4. Add Sauce and Serve:

Drizzle your choice of sauce over the bowl (such as teriyaki sauce for a sweet and savory touch or hot sauce for some heat).
Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious, flavorful meal!
