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 set aside for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Cook the Brown Rice:
Rinse the brown rice under cold water.
In a saucepan, combine rice with water or broth and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes until the rice is tender. 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, stirring occasionally, 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 well combined and emulsified. 🫒
Assemble the Bowls:
Divide the cooked brown rice among bowls. Add the chipotle chicken bites, halved jammy eggs, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle with olive vinaigrette and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Add crumbled cheese if desired.
