Toppings:
1/2 avocado, sliced 🥑
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 🍅

Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix chipotle in adobo (or chipotle powder), olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Toss the chicken pieces in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Cook the Brown Rice:
Rinse the rice under cold water.
In a saucepan, combine rice with water or vegetable broth and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Fluff with a fork and set aside. 🍚
Prepare the Jammy Eggs:
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Gently lower eggs into the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for a jammy yolk.
Transfer eggs to an ice bath. Once cooled, peel and set aside. 🥚
Cook the Chicken Bites:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken bites and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Make the Olive Vinaigrette:
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified. 🫒
Assemble the Bowls:
Divide brown rice into serving bowls. Add a handful of baby greens if desired.
Top with chipotle chicken bites, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and halved jammy eggs.
Drizzle with olive vinaigrette and garnish with fresh herbs and crumbled cheese if desired.
Serve and Enjoy:
