Cook the Chicken
Pound the chicken breast to an even ½-inch thickness. Season with pink salt.
Heat a grill pan or skillet with a drizzle of olive or avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Cook for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (165°F/74°C internal temp).
Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. -
Prepare the Base
Reheat leftover rice or cook fresh jasmine rice or quinoa according to package directions.
(Chef’s Hack: Add a splash of coconut milk while cooking rice for extra creaminess!) -
Steam or Roast the Veggies
Steam broccoli for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, then remove immediately.
(Or roast zucchini at 400°F/200°C for 15–20 minutes with a touch of oil and garlic powder.) -
Whisk the Dressing (if using tahini)
In a small bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, and water until smooth and pourable. -
Assemble the Bowl
Start with your rice or quinoa base.
Arrange the broccoli and sliced chicken beautifully on top.
Drizzle generously with coconut aminos or the lemon-tahini dressing.
Finish with pink salt, chili flakes, and any extra toppings you love. -
