Easy Lunch Recipe: Healthy Homestyle Chicken & Rice Bowl with Rotisserie Seasoning

Looking for a quick and easy lunch recipe? You’re in the right place! Nutrifitx Members know that getting a healthy lunch with all the essential groups is key for beating the afternoon slump. Plus, it helps you maintain steady energy without crashing. At lunch, we love pairing a grain and a protein, then adding in some veggies for a well rounded, delicious meal. One of our go-to choices is what we call a Lunch Bowl. Lunch bowls are super easy and portable. You can make multiple servings in advance or even throw together some leftovers. This makes a healthy and energizing mid-day meal. In this recipe, we pair brown rice with lean chicken cutlets. Then, we add sweet peas and steamed kale for a micronutrient punch! Season it all with a healthy, homemade rotisserie seasoning, and lunch is served.

Serving: If you prefer, each thing can be served separately on a plate for a traditional meal. Or, for meal prep or on-the-go options, place everything in one bowl. We like to mix everything up together and eat this dish all together. Optional: Top with a Nutrifitx Approved tahini sauce of your choice (preferably homemade).

Ingredients

Chicken & Rice Bowl

• 4-6 oz Chicken Breast, trimmed and sliced into cutlets
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 cup Organic Brown Rice, cooked
• 1/2 cup Sweet Peas (we used frozen)
• 2 1/2 cups Organic Kale
• 1/4 Onion, thinly sliced
• Salt, to taste

Rotisserie Seasoning

• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1 Tbsp Oregano, dried
• 1 Tbsp Parsley, dried
• 1 tsp Thyme, dried
• 1 tsp Mustard Powder
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder (we like granulated garlic, if available)
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground preferred
• 1 Tbsp Ground Cumin

Instructions

1. Add all seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and mix with a whisk or fork until well combined. Set aside. (You will make more seasoning than is needed for this meal.)
2. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium low heat. Meanwhile, clean and cut your chicken breasts.
3. Add chicken cutlets to a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with desired rotisserie seasoning. We do not recommend using the full recipe of seasoning. Be sure to scoop your seasoning out with clean utensils so that you can store the extra for another meal.
4. Stir chicken cutlets until seasoning is evenly distributed. While stirring, you can check to make sure you have the desired amount of flavoring on your chicken, adding more as you stir if needed.
5. Carefully place seasoned cutlets in one layer in heated oil, cover. Set a timer for 3-4 minutes. When timer goes off, flip your chicken cutlets and repeat. If chicken is mostly cooked when you flip, reduce cook time appropriately. When finished cooking, place on a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up any excess oil or juices.
6. While chicken is cooking, reheat your rice (if necessary) and start steaming your kale. To steam, add a small amount of water to the bottom of a steamer pot. Place kale and onions in the steaming basket, making sure onions are separated and evenly distributed. Cover and allow to steam until cooked to desired tenderness (we typically like to allow the onions to turn mostly clear). When cooked about half way, stir your kale and onions, then season with salt as desired - continue steaming until done.
7. Also, be sure to warm your peas. We like to do this with the rice. Simply place both your rice and your peas in a small pot, and heat until warm and peas are no longer frozen. If your rice is cooked fresh, you can heat your peas in a tiny bit of water on the stovetop. Try not to boil the peas, as boiling your vegetables can cook a lot of the nutriets out and into the water.
8. Assemble your bowl. Start with the rice, add your vegetables, then top with chicken. See photos for an example of how we assembled our bowls. Alternatively, you can stack all of the ingredients, then mix them together before eating.
