Preparation

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated, then let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.

Cooking

Grill or sear the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown.
Meanwhile, steam or sauté the broccoli for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender.

Assembly

Layer the bowl by placing cooked white rice at the bottom.
Add the grilled chicken strips over rice, followed by steamed broccoli and halved avocado.

Finishing Touches

Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve texture. Consider adding pickled vegetables or a salad as a side.
