Ingredients
 
 

For the Chicken:
  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
For the Rice:
  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
For the Mango Avocado Salsa:
  • 1 large ripe mango diced
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Pinch of salt
For the Sautéed Vegetables:
  • 1 small zucchini sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook the Rice: Rinse rice under cold water. Combine rice, water, and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff.
  2. Season the Chicken: Pat chicken dry and rub with olive oil. Mix paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Coat chicken evenly with seasoning.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely blackened. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  4. Make the Salsa: In a bowl, gently combine mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix lightly to keep avocado intact.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli for 5–7 minutes until tender with slight browning. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Add rice to each bowl, top with sautéed vegetables, sliced blackened chicken, and a generous spoonful of mango avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
