Ingredients
- 2/3 cup basmati rice
- 1 cup water
Mango Sauce
- 1 mango, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon riracha sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
Corn Salsa
- 1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 ½ cups corn
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 small red onion, diced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 avocado, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 3
Mix mango, olive oil, lime juice, honey, Sriracha sauce, garlic, and salt together in a blender until smooth. Place chicken in a shallow bowl and pour 1/2 of the sauce on top; marinate chicken for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Mix black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt together in a bowl for corn salsa.
Step 5
Grill chicken until no longer pink in center and juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat.
Step 6
Divide rice among 4 glass meal prep bowls. Add 2 pieces of chicken to each bowl; top with reserved mango sauce, corn salsa, and coconut. Top with avocado slices, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Tips:
Substitute jasmine rice for basmati, if desired.
