Power Bowl Ingredients
- ½ cup cooked farro or any grain of choice
- 2 cups arugula or any green
- 2 cup sweet potato, chopped
- 2 cup cauliflower, chopped
Roast the veggies and make the grains. Cook the farro or grain of choice according to the package instructions. Preheat the oven or an air fryer to 375º. Prepare the veggies. Cut them into bite sized pieces, add to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and salt & pepper (about 1 tsp each)
Lay on parchment lined baking sheet or throw in the air fryer and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked to your liking.
Cook the chicken. While the veggies are cooking, season the chicken and add the oil, coat both sides of the breasts well. Add to a hot skillet or grill on medium/high heat. cook for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and 165º internally. Let the chicken rest and cube or slice it.
Make the dressing while the chicken cooks. Add everything to a small food processor or blender and blitz until well blended. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing if desired.
Layer everything into bowls. and give them a heavy handed drizzle of the garlic lemon dressing.
- Don't overcook the chicken! It's always best to have a digital meat thermometer. This will help keep the chicken nice and juicy.
- Use veggies you like. You can customize the veggies to just about anything you like! Just keep in mind baking/air fry times will vary with different veggies!
- Cut the veggies in equal sizes so they bake similar.
- Taste as you go. Give the dressing a taste and make sure you don't want more lemon or garlic. Add 1-2 tablespoon of water to it to thin it out if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze these for up to 2 months.
