I LOVE a good nourish bowl! It’s really just a bowl full of nourishing foods that make you FEEL so good after eating it! My nourish bowl formula is always: protein, fat, fiber, and fun! This formula ensures I have a balanced meal as well as delicious flavor and these green chili chicken nourish bowls have exactly that! My husband loved this recipe, and said I needed to make it a regular meal in our rotation! So, you know it’s good!
Green Chili Chicken Nourish Bowls
Ingredients:
(Makes 4-6 servings)
- 2 chicken breasts (thawed and flattened)
- 1 can (16 ounces) green chili
- 1/2 cup rice
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 pound green beans
- 1 head of broccoli
- 1 bushel of asparagus
- 3 cloves garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Turmeric (optional)
- Olive oil
- Optional Toppings/Garnish: tomato, red bell pepper, avocado, cilantro
Recipe:
(Cook time: 4 hours)
- To a ziplock bag, add defrosted chicken breasts, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin. Shake well until the chicken breasts are completely coated in the seasonings.
- Remove chicken from the bag and place in a crock pot with a jar of green chili and garlic cloves. Add the lid, and cook the chicken for 3-4 hours on low heat.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Chop broccoli, asparagus, and green beans, then place on a baking sheet and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. I like to add turmeric to the green beans, but that is totally optional. Place baking sheet in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the veggies reach your preferred level of crispiness.
- In a pot, bring 2cups of chicken bone broth to a boil, then add 1/2 cup of washed/rinsed rice, and 1/2 cup of washed/rinsed quinoa. Stir and lower the heat to a simmer, and place the lid on top of the pot. Let the rice and quinoa cook for 18 minutes, don’t open the lid. After 18 minutes, turn off the heat, and cook for another 7 minutes. After those 7 minutes, remove the lid from the pot and fluff the grains with a fork and serve.
- Once chicken is cooked, remove chicken breasts from crock pot, and add to a bowl. Shred with two forks, and place the shredded chicken back into the crock pot with the green chili. Mix well and serve over rice/quinoa and baked veggies. Add fresh diced tomato, red bell pepper, avocado, and cilantro and enjoy!
