Rice Bowl

    Tonight for dinner I made honey lime chicken rice bowls with white rice and grilled zucchini. I got the zucchini from the farmers market where I work, this past weekend and as you can see from the post before this one I made zucchini bread and tonight I decided to cook up the yellow ones for dinner in a simple rice bowl.

    I made white rice tonight because I had some left overs from two nights ago, but normally for rice bowls I would make brown rice because you can hardly tell the taste is a bit different when it's mixed up with meat and veggies, plus its healthier! so yay! Side note- yes I am one of those people who prefers white rice because it tastes so much better then brown rice when you have it with just butter!

    For the zucchini I just sliced it up in fat slivers and stirred it up with olive oil, salt, and pepper then through them on the grill.

    For the chicken I slice up anywhere from 1-3 chicken breasts in about a 1/4-1/2 inch slices. You'll probably want to cut up the chicken further after it's been cooked for better ease of eating, but keeping the pieces larger like this will make grilling the chicken easier.

I marinaded it in:

5 tbls soy sauce

3 tbls honey

2 tbls canola oil

1-2 juiced limes

2 diced garlic cloves

~1-2 tsp dried pepper flakes

Let the chicken sit in the marinade for 20+ minutes before grilling- make sure to oil the grill before you put the chicken on it!

After I'm done marinading the chicken and it's on the grill with the zucchini, I throw the marinade in a small pot and boil it for a few minutes to kill any raw chicken bacteria and then i use it as a sauce over top of the rice bowl.

To serve- couple scoops of rice, some zucchini, and chicken topped with sauce! YUM!
