Ingredients

  • 190g Chicken Thigh
  • 255g brown rice
  • 80g courgette
  • 80g spinach
  • 8g sriracha
  • 15g lime
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp chipotle chilli flakes & cumin
  • 80g avocado
  • 20g tortilla chips
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the courgette and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Rub the protein with chipotle and cumin. Stir the hot sauce and lime into the yoghurt for a smoky crema.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the courgette and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: brown rice first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the avocado, tortilla chips for extra energy-dense calories.
