Shopping List
    For the Chicken
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 ounce jar simmer sauce (such as salsa verde, tikka masala, or coconut curry)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For the Bowl
  • 1 pound broccolini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • cooked white rice, to taste Topping Ideas
  • sour cream, avocado, and/or butter

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Cook the rice in a rice cooker or stovetop according to package directions.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner cutlets.
  3. Step 3: Heat the 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets to the pan and sear for 2 minutes per side. Then pour all of the sauce into the pan. Cover with a lid and cook over for 10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Once the chicken has cooked, remove it from the pan to cool. Shred the cooled chicken with two forks and stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce. Set aside.
  5. Step 5: While the chicken cools, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Step 6: If the broccolini are very thick, slice them in half lengthwise until each stalk is about the width of a finger. Spread the broccolini on a baking sheet and toss with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the broccolini for about 10 minutes, or until fork-tender but still bright green in color.
  7. Serve: Build your bowls with the warm rice, broccolini, and shredded chicken. Enjoy with any toppings you like (salsa verde + non-dairy sour cream is epic).
