For the Honey BBQ Chicken

  • 2 pounds chicken breast

  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the bowls

Instructions
 

Prepare the rice

  • Prepare the rice per package instructions.

Make the Honey BBQ Chicken

  • Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil. Once hot, place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and allow to cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes. Then stir the chicken and continue to cook stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through, about 3-5 additional minutes. Chicken should be 165˚F internal temperature. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Mix the honey BBQ sauce up by whisking together BBQ sauce and honey until smooth.
  • Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the chicken bites in the skillet and stir until all chicken bites are evenly coated in the sauce.

Assemble the bowls

  • Heat the corn and beans.
  • Place a scoop of rice on one side of the bowl. Add romaine lettuce to the other side of the bowl.
  • Add a scoop of black beans and a scoop of corn to the bowl, then top with pickled onions and cheese.
  • To finish, drizzle with ranch dressing and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Notes

We like pickled onions, but you can substitute other onions here as well. Chopped green onions and french fried onions also make a great compliment to the bowl. This recipe can easily be doubled if you are feeding a crowd or halved for smaller portions.
