Chimichurri Chicken Bowl
with Fresh Salsa and Charred Veggies
We’re big fans of the ubiquitous “power bowl,” but we have to admit, this one’s extra special. It’s a veritable one-bowl feast that’s positively bursting with flavor! Savoury and vibrant yellow rice is topped with cumin-spiced chicken, lightly charred veggies, fresh tomato salsa, and the world’s best condiment: chimichurri.
Produced in a facility that processes milk, sesame, eggs, fish, shellfish, crustaceans, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean and sulphites.

Instructions
Before starting, preheat your broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) in a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.While water boils, core then cut the pepper into 1/2-inch strips. Peel, halve, then slice half the onion into 1/4-inch strips. Cut the remaining half of onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Roughly chop the tomato. Finely chop cilantro.
Add rice and half the cumin-turmeric blend to the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While the rice cooks, toss the peppers and onion slices with 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl) on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Broil veggies in the middle of the oven until softened and beginning to char, 6-8 min.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and the remaining cumin-turmeric blend.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken. Cook on one side, until bottom is golden, 6-7 min. Flip chicken over, then cover and cook, until golden-brown and cooked through, 6-7 min.**
Stir together the cilantro, 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), and half the vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside. Stir together the tomato, chopped onion, and remaining vinegar in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Fluff the rice with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken. Divide the rice between bowls and top with the veggies, chicken and salsa. Spoon the chimichurri over top.
