Brown Rice Bowl













This recipe is super healthy, easy and yummo!! Below is a serving for one. Everything in red is what I do to cook it for my whole fam.

½ cup cooked brown rice (6 cups)
2 oz. grilled chicken breast, diced (3 chicken breasts cooked in a little bit of olive oil and seasoned with Real Salt onion flavored)
1/3 cup corn niblets (16 oz. frozen corn heated)
1/3 cup cooked peas (16 oz. frozen peas heated)
Sundrenchers Asain Salad dressing or Teriyaki Sauce

Combine rice with chicken, corn, & peas. Then toss with sauce of choice. It is actually good without the sauce, but I love sundrenchers and it gives it an added asian twist. Sundrenchers is sweetened with agave and everything in it is organic. I have found it at Fresh Market and Good Earth. Add 90 calories for 1 1/2 TBS. to the calories below if you use it for your sauce.
