Items Needed
- Chicken Breast—I used about 8 ounces of chicken. You can also use chicken tenders, boneless thighs, or chicken gizzards.
- Sweet Corn- Adding these golden goodies and rice will make you jump for joy.
- Black Beans- Placing them into the mix and corn will help introduce unique flavors.
- Rice- Honestly, the rice is optional but is recommended.
Steps To Make High Protein Chicken Bowl
Clean and Cut- Thoroughly clean your chicken, chop, and add to a bowl.
Create Mixture- Add all mentioned ingredients to the chicken and mix well.
Sear chicken: Add chicken to a medium-high-heat skillet and allow it to sear for 8 to 12 minutes or until done.
Cook Vegetables- Drain and allow corn and black beans to steam in the pot separately for 5 minutes.
Plate things up– Go ahead and add your precooked rice, and serve.
Other Ways To Serve
- Remove the chicken and add fresh romaine chopped lettuce. This will cut the calories and take away starches.
- Switch up the white rice and add brown rice or parboil rice with some green onions over the top.
- For a Mediterranean bowl, you only need to add a mixture of fresh Italian parsley or grape tomatoes.
