Ingredients
Scale
Bowls
- 1 bag Success Boil-in-Bag White Rice, or 1 heaping cup of cooked rice
- 5 oz mixed greens
- 1 1/2 cups shredded reb cabbage
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds
- 1/3 cup dressing, Spicy Cashew or Sesame Dressing (see full blog post for options!)
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins, or chicken breast
- 1 tbsp blackened seasoning
- Olive oil spray
Crispy Rice
- 1/2 cup puffed rice cereal
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp honey
Instructions
- First prepare the crispy rice. Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey to a small pan over medium heat. Combine. Add in the puffed rice cereal once the sauce begins to simmer. Coat thoroughly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, being careful to not burn the rice. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Success Boil-in-Bag White Rice according to the package directions. Set aside.
- Next cook the chicken. First add the raw chicken to a small mixing bowl. Add olive oil spray and the blackened seasoning. Coat the chicken thoroughly. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the seasoned chicken in the basket. For chicken tenderloins air fry for 8 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. Chicken breasts will require a longer cooking time, about 12-15 minutes. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the seasoned chicken on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. For chicken tenderloins bake for 10 minutes. For chicken breasts bake for 18-20 minutes. Once cooked, chop the chicken and set aside.
- To assemble the bowls start with a base of mixed greens. Then add the cooked chicken, cooked Success Boil-in-Bag White Rice, crispy rice, red cabbage, cucumber, carrots, fresh cilantro, and slivered almonds. Top with a drizzle of dressing. See my full post for homemade and store-bought options.
- Serve and enjoy! I like to add a fresh squeeze of lime juice.
