I love a quick dinner recipe that my whole family will enjoy! This recipe that I’m sharing with you today is:

  • Healthy
  • Easy to make
  • A fairly inexpensive meal
  • Perfect for make-ahead lunches
  • So satisfying
  • Filling

I think chicken and rice is a match made in heaven. But many chicken and rice dishes are loaded with calories. The chicken is frequently cooked in lots of oil which can be unhealthy. This recipe uses healthy extra virgin olive oil and healthy veggies to make it a perfectly balanced meal.

This recipe is great to take to work! Go ahead and pack it the night before, and then just heat it up right before you’re ready to eat! It’s as simple as that! And it’s very satisfying! You won’t be running around the office looking for a vending machine snack. This chicken and veggie rice bowl will keep you full for hours!

Benefits You Get From This Recipe:

Chicken Breast. This is an excellent source of lean protein. It’s also a good source of vitamin D, zinc, and iron.

Bell Peppers. These delicious peppers are full of great health benefits. Not only are bell peppers rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Potassium, they also contain fiber, folate, and iron.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil. EVOO is often referred to as the healthiest oil in the world. It contains plenty of beneficial fatty acids and a substantial amount of antioxidants.

So go ahead and make this easy Chicken and Veggie Rice Bowl! You’ll absolutely devour it!

Let’s put this recipe together! For this, you will need:

Rice contains fiber, which can help lower cholesterol.

Chicken breast fills you up with protein, which increases muscle mass.

Red, yellow, and green bell peppers contain potassium, which can help reduce blood pressure.

Along with those ingredients, you will need black pepper, olive oil, salt, paprika, and fresh dill.

Steps

NOW, LET’S PUT IT TOGETHER AND ENJOY!

Cook rice.

Slice chicken, and bell peppers into a bowl.

Add black pepper, olive oil, salt, and paprika to the chicken. Mix everything together and let marinate for 5 minutes.
