Lemon-Ginger Chicken with Pineapple Salsa Bowl 🍍🍗🍋✨
Ingredients:
• For the Lemon-Ginger Chicken:
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp honey
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• For the Pineapple Salsa:
• 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 red onion, finely diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• For the Bowl:
• 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (or your choice of base)
• 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup shredded carrots
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
• In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.
• Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let it sit for at least 20-30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
2. Make the Pineapple Salsa:
• In a small bowl, combine diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
3. Cook the Chicken:
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
• Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
4. Assemble the Bowl:
• In each bowl, start with a base of quinoa or brown rice.
• Add the sliced grilled chicken, cucumber slices, avocado, and shredded carrots.
• Top with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa.
5. Serve:
• Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately for a zesty, fresh meal that packs a punch of flavor!
