Ingredients
- Curry-Yogurt Chicken:
- 1.75 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ⅓ cup fat free Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. freshly grated ginger
- 1 large garlic clover, finely chopped
- ½ lemon, zest and juice
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp. salt
- Coconut Ginger Grains:
- 1 ½ cups dried grains or rice (such as basmati rice, quinoa, millet, barley, or a mixture)
- 1 Tbsp. coconut butter or oil
- 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp. shredded coconut
- Freshly chopped cilantro or Scallions, for garnish
- To Add To Your Bowl:
- - Cumin-Chile Roasted Cauliflower {Link to recipe in instructions)
- - Sweet and Smoky Glazed Carrots with Walnuts
- - Avocado, diced into small pieces
- - Yogurt Sauce, such as Tzaitziki ( Link to our homemade version in instructions)
Let's go
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Cut chicken into 2-inch pieces. Set aside while you mix together all of the other ingredients in a bowl. Mix together until it forms a thick, yogurt marinade. Add in chicken. Marinate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Begin on the other bowl ingredients while the chicken marinates.
- Make the rice by boiling water with the grains, coconut butter or oil, and fresh ginger in a medium-sized saucepan. Once it comes to a boil, cover and turn to low. Allow to cook for another 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Take off heat, taste and season, and set aside.
- Begin with the Cumin-Chile Roasted Cauliflower. Take out and reserve, covered, on the side until ready to serve.
- While the Cumin-Chile Roasted Cauliflower is roasting, start the Sweet & Smoky Glazed Carrots with Walnuts.
- While the carrots are on the stove cooking, get a baking dish ready for the chicken. Take a medium-sized baking dish, like a square glass Pyrex, and line it with aluminum foil, including all of the sides. This will help with cleanup.
- Turn the oven up to high broil (it should already be very hot from the cauliflower so this shouldn’t take long).
- Pop the chicken into the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are browned.
- Cut up avocado and any other items you will be garnishing bowls with.
- Serve bowls already made or with all ingredients on the table for a DIY treat.
