Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup water or chicken broth
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 cups cauliflower rice or cooked brown rice
1 14-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and heated
1 red onion, chopped
1 cup salsa
1 cup guacamole
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until browned.
Pour the water or chicken broth around the chicken, cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 7 to 9 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is cooked through.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and let cool slightly until comfortable to handle. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the shredded chicken with chili powder, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
Divide the cauliflower rice or brown rice among 4 serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the seasoned shredded chicken, heated garbanzo beans, chopped red onion, salsa, and guacamole. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Comments
Every ingredient is available at any Charlotte supermarket—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI all stock chicken, cauliflower rice, garbanzo beans, and salsa—with no special trips required. At roughly $2.50–$3.00 per serving, cost is driven by the chicken and avocado, both reasonable for a protein-forward bowl. The stated 20 minutes is honest if you use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken or frozen cauliflower rice, but raw chicken and whole cauliflower push it to 30 minutes without acknowledgment. This reheats decently for next-day lunch, though guacamole is best added fresh, and the formula feeds a family well with minimal fussiness—rice cooks while chicken and toppings assemble.
