Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • cup basmati rice

  • 1 cup water

Mango Sauce:

  • 1 mango, peeled and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 3 teaspoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise

Corn Salsa:

  • 1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained

  • 1 ½ cups corn

  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper

  • 1 small red onion, diced

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup sweetened flaked coconut

  • 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. Mix mango, olive oil, lime juice, honey, Sriracha sauce, garlic, and salt together in a blender until smooth. Place chicken in a shallow bowl and pour 1/2 of the sauce on top; marinate chicken for 10 minutes.

  4. Mix black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt together in a bowl for corn salsa.

  5. Grill chicken until no longer pink in center and juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat.

  6. Divide rice among 4 glass meal prep bowls. Add 2 pieces of chicken to each bowl; top with reserved mango sauce, corn salsa, and coconut. Top with avocado slices, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Tips:

Substitute jasmine rice for basmati, if desired.

Instead of grilling, you can bake this at 425 degrees F (200 degrees C).
