Ingredients

  • 190g Chicken Thigh
  • 255g brown rice
  • 80g red cabbage
  • 80g red pepper
  • 30g bbq sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3g garlic
  • 25g cheddar cheese
  • 60g avocado
  • 10g spring onions

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the red cabbage and peppers, 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

    Mix the BBQ sauce with smoked paprika and garlic. Brush over the protein for the last few minutes of cooking so it chars without burning.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the red cabbage and peppers 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 spring onions.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the cheddar cheese, avocado for extra energy-dense calories.
