Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
2
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the brown rice according to the package instructions. Typically, it's a 2:1 ratio of water to rice. Bring the water to a boil, add the rice, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
3
Grill the chicken breast by preheating a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
4
Steam the Brussels sprouts by filling a pot with 2 inches of water and bringing it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and place a steamer basket over the pot. Add the Brussels sprouts and cover with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes or until tender but still crisp.
5
Assemble the grain bowl by placing a scoop of brown rice on the bottom, followed by sliced grilled chicken breast, roasted sweet potatoes, steamed Brussels sprouts, and diced avocado. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs.
