30-minute Chili Lime Rice Bowls

15 Feb 2017 Recipes

 

 

This is my new favorite weeknight dinner to make because it’s literally SO easy, so tasty and super healthy. I love how it has a different flavor than most other foods we eat, and although I could probably eat tacos every night, I’m all for trying other Mexican-Inspired foods at home.

SO here is what you need :

  • 3 peppers, red, yellow and orange
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 bunch of asparagus cut into two-three inch pieces
  • chicken (1 or 2 pounds worth)
  • brown rice (I buy the frozen pre-cooked packets from Trader Joe’s which take three minutes to cook in the microwave
  • one fresh lime
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper
  • chili-lime seasoning from Trader Joe’s (if you don’t have a TJ’s I’m sure your local super market will have this, or you can google what’s in it and just buy all of the spices separately and combine.

Here is what you do

Preheat oven to 375

Slice up your vegetables into strips and place on a greased (I use pam) sheet pan. Toss with olive oil, salt and liberally sprinkle the chili-lime seasoning (about one tablespoon worth). Set aside.

Slice up your chicken into strips, and place these on a greased sheet pan as well. Pour some olive oil on the chicken, and liberally sprinkle the salt and chili-lime seasoning (again about one tablespoon worth).

Place both sheets in the oven at 375 and let cook until done (about 10 minutes). The veggies need a little less than the chicken so take those out once they’ve reached a just-cooked texture, I don’t like them too soft so I watch those closely. I usually let the chicken stay a couple extra minutes and just test one strip to see whether it’s done or not.

While the chicken and veggies are in the oven, cook your brown rice and place into a bowl. Squeeze some fresh lime and pour about 1/8 of a cup of olive oil into the rice. I also put the chili-lime seasoning on the rice, to taste.

Once your veggies and chicken are done, take them out, and start making up your bowls. I usually put the rice in first, and then top with veggies and chicken. Squeeze some more fresh lime on top and you can sprinkle on some more seasoning as well, I’m a huge fan of it so I usually do this to mine.

And that’s it! You’re done!

Lets Be Social

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
