Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup corn kernels

  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions and chop veggies.
  4. Assemble bowls with grains as the base, then layer corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, greens, and sliced chicken.
  5. Drizzle with ranch dressing mixed with BBQ sauce and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Garnish if desired.
