Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz total)

Grains

  • 1 cup cooked white or brown rice

Sauces & Dressings

  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, corn, and black beans)

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  2. Prepare the Rice and Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, prepare 1 cup of rice according to package instructions if not pre-cooked. Combine the mixed vegetables—such as bell peppers, corn, and black beans—in a bowl.
  3. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked rice. Top with sliced chicken, the mixed vegetables, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, and a generous spoonful of ranch dressing.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the BBQ Ranch Chicken Bowl immediately, optionally adding extra BBQ sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute the mixed vegetables with your favorites or whatever you have on hand.
  • For a healthier option, use low-fat ranch dressing or Greek yogurt-based ranch.
  • Grill the chicken instead of pan-cooking for added smoky flavor.
  • Leftover chicken and rice work great for meal prepping this bowl.
