Don’t you just want to eat everything in a bowl, like this cilantro lime chicken bowl?! I do. It’s funny because when Justin and I first started dating I remember we were exchanging food photos over text…yes, this food obsession has been from the very beginning! Anyway, we were exchanging photos of eggs we made for dinner one night. You know, before we lived together and cooked our dinners together every night. Maybe it was our way of flirting…food does speak right to my heart! Justin’s eggs were on a plate, and mine were in a bowl. I thought it was so strange that he’d eat his eggs on a plate. Do you eat your eggs on a plate, or in a bowl? Just curious.
EATING FROM A BOWL IS JUST BETTER
These days, I notice many of our meals are eaten in a bowl, like sometimes it feels like we need to run the dishwasher just to have clean bowls. I don’t even know the last time Justin had eggs on plate…actually I do. It was on a weekend recently when I made pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. We ate the pancakes on a plate (duh! eating pancakes in a bowl would be silly!). So, the eggs went on the plate as well. That seems totally logical though. Ha! I’m sure he loves how my quirks have worn off on him!

Ingredients
For the chicken:
2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
1 lime - the zest and juice
2 tbsp fresh cilantro - chopped and more for garnish
1/4 tsp each: salt and pepper
2 lbs chicken breast
For the avocado cream:
1 avocado
1 lime - just the juice
2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper - to taste
1-2 tbsp water
For the cauliflower rice:
1 head of cauliflower or 1 bag of already riced cauliflower
1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
1 handful fresh cilantro - chopped
Salt and pepper - to taste
Instructions
- First make the marinade for your chicken. In a large ziplock, combine your avocado or olive oil, lime zest and juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper.
- Then, place your chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten your chicken so that the pieces are even in thickness. Then, add your chicken to the ziplock with the marinade and mix everything around so the chicken is fully coated. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 15 minutes. I let ours marinate for about an hour and it was great!
