Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked skinless chicken
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup black beans, rinsed
1/4 cup salsa
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Place the shredded chicken and black beans in separate microwave-safe bowls.
Heat both in the microwave until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Verify that the brown rice is warmed through.
In a serving bowl, assemble the brown rice as the base.
Layer the heated chicken and black beans over the rice.
Top the bowl with fresh salsa.
Finish by adding a dollop of cold Greek yogurt on top.
Notes
Ensure the chicken and beans are heated separately to maintain texture. Using high-quality cooked brown rice prevents moisture from making the bowl mushy. For added flavor, sprinkle with fresh cilantro or lime juice.
