Step-by-Step Instructions for Baja Bowl with Chicken
- In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice and 1/2 cup of quinoa with 4 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the grains are tender and the water is absorbed.
- While the grains are cooking, season 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and slice the chicken into strips.
- In a large serving bowl, start layering your Baja Bowl with the cooked grains as the base. Add the sliced grilled chicken on top, followed by 1 cup of corn kernels and a handful of halved grape tomatoes.
- Spoon a dollop of Greek yogurt over the ingredients, and drizzle salsa verde over the top to add a refreshing zest.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the completed Baja Bowl for flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy your colorful, nutritious blend!
- If you have leftovers, store the components in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lime juice and spices beforehand. Store components separately for freshness when meal prepping.
