Easy Chicken Bowl Recipe for a Healthy Lifestyle

Healthy Lifestyle Made Simple

This chicken bowl gives you meals for the entire week.

You prep once on Sunday and eat well all week long. The recipe takes 40 minutes total. And you'll have five ready-to-eat meals.

What You Need

For the bowls:

• 500g chicken breast
• 200g glass noodles or rice
• 2 bell peppers
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cucumber
• 2 carrots
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 
  

For the avocado dressing:

• 2 ripe avocados or avocado oil
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tbsp water
• Salt to taste

How to Make Your Chicken Bowls

Cook the protein:

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until done. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

Prepare your base:

Cook glass noodles according to package instructions (usually 5 minutes in boiling water).

Or cook rice your preferred way. Drain and set aside.

Prep the vegetables:

Cut bell peppers into strips. Steam broccoli for 4 minutes.

Slice the cucumber and julienne carrots. These stay fresh in the fridge for days.

The Avocado Dressing Recipe

Blend avocados, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and water until smooth.

Add salt to taste. The dressing stays green for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

If it turns brown on top, stir it.

The lime juice helps prevent oxidation.

Building Your Meals

Divide noodles or rice into five containers. Add sliced chicken to each.

Arrange vegetables in sections.

Store dressing separately in small containers.

When you're ready to eat, add the dressing and mix everything.

Why This Works for Holistic Lifestyle Living

This meal gives you protein, complex carbs, and plenty of vegetables.

The avocado dressing adds healthy fats.

You're not following a restrictive diet.

You're eating real food that tastes good.

The prep takes less than an hour. But it solves five lunches or dinners.

That's healthy lifestyle inspiration that actually fits into your week.

Make It Your Own

Swap chicken for tofu or salmon.

Use quinoa instead of noodles.

Add different vegetables based on what you have.

The formula stays the same: protein, base, vegetables, creamy dressing.

Mix and match based on your preferences.

Storage Tips

These bowls last 4-5 days in the fridge.

Keep dressing separate until you eat.

Don't freeze the assembled bowls, or the vegetables will get watery.

You can freeze cooked chicken on its own for up to 3 months.

This is how holistic lifestyle changes happen. Small, repeatable habits.

Not perfection. Just consistent good choices that don't require constant effort.

Nutrition Per Bowl

Each bowl gives you approximately:

• Calories: 450-500
• Protein: 35g
• Carbohydrates: 40g
• Fat: 18g
• Fiber: 8g

The macros work well for most people. You get enough protein to stay full.

The carbs will give you energy. And the healthy fats from avocado help your body absorb vitamins.

If you need more calories, add an extra serving of rice or noodles.

For fewer calories, use more vegetables and less base.
