What You’ll Need

For the Chicken + Veggies:

• 4 grilled chicken breasts, sliced

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

• ½ red onion, sliced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp chili powder

• ½ tsp paprika

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• Salt & pepper to taste

Bowl Base + Toppings:

• 4 cups cauliflower rice or mixed greens

• 1 avocado, sliced

• ¼ cup shredded reduced-fat cheese (optional)

• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Lime Yogurt Drizzle:

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp lime juice

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• Salt to taste

• Water to thin, if needed

How to Make It

1. Sauté the Veggies

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onions, season with cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until softened and slightly charred—about 7 to 8 minutes.

2. Grill the Chicken

Season and grill chicken breasts until cooked through (internal temp should hit 165°F). Let them rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.

3. Whip Up the Drizzle

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Add a splash of water and stir until you get that creamy, pourable texture.

4. Build Your Bowl

Layer your base—cauliflower rice or greens—then top with grilled chicken, sautéed veggies, avocado slices, and cheese (if using). Finish with a generous drizzle of that lime yogurt sauce and sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
