Ingredients
– 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
– 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
– 1 ½ cups diced zucchini
– 1 ½ cups diced yellow squash
– 1 cup diced red bell pepper
– 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
– 1 teaspoon olive oil
– ¼ teaspoon chili powder
– ¼ teaspoon cumin
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup sliced avocado
– 2 tablespoons salad dressing (such as Southwestern ranch or cilantro dressing)
– 4 tablespoons salsa
Instructions
1-First: season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning and set your grill to 350°F. Grill them for 10-12 minutes until they hit an internal temperature of 165°F, then let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting into pieces. While that’s happening, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the red bell pepper for 2-3 minutes.
2-Next: add the zucchini and yellow squash to the skillet along with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook until the veggies soften but stay firm, which takes just a few more minutes.
3-Now, assemble the bowls by layering shredded romaine lettuce at the bottom, followed by the cooked veggies, grilled chicken, dressing or salsa, and sliced avocado.
4-Serve the bowls warm for the best taste, and remember that the whole process takes about 10 minutes of prep plus 15 minutes of cooking. This yields 4 servings, making it great for family meals or meal prep.
