Everybody loves a good chicken bowl, it’s practically guilt free, it tastes great, and it’s easy to assemble. It’s the perfect delivery system for the balanced meal, you have a nice protein, complex carbohydrate, and some healthy fats to go with it. This chicken bowl is no different, I used a Dijon mustard marinade to give the chicken a great earthy flavor while maintaining the moisture in the chicken breast which is wont to dry out. If you’re trying to figure out a good work lunch idea, this is ideal. It keeps all week and you can swap out the other components of the bowl to keep your interest all week.
Rather than regale you with tales of yore about the magical history of chicken breasts and the transformative properties of chicken bowls, I’ll get right to the recipe.
