Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make your Cilantro Lime Rice:
Wash the rice. It’ll take about 3-4 rinses but keep repeat how ever many times it take you until the water runs clear. Minimal start start is KEY unless your making sticky rice.
- 2
Put your rinses rice in a pot, preferably one with a tight fitting lid or you can use aluminum foil as a cover. Pour enough water in the pot for it to be just above the rice. The water should be about a 1/2 inch above the rice. You can also use your index fingernail as a reference.
- 3
Add butter,salt,lime zest, and lime juice to the rice. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and lower the heat to low to maintain a very low simmer.
- 4
Keep the rice covered the ENTIRE cooking time. Roughly 15-20 minutes or until all the water is dissolved. Pots with clear lids come in handy for this.
- 5
Fluff with a fork and set aside for later.
- 6
Make your grilled chicken:
Marinate cleaned thinly sliced chicken breast with adobo, Tajin, and oregano for at least an hour. (Overnight is even better) Season to your liking; I don’t really measure 🙃
- 7
Melt Kerrygold butter in a pan and Grill chicken on medium high heat. About 5-6 min on each side.
- 8
When cooked through, turn heat off and let chicken rest while you prep your mango salsa.
- 9
Dice ripe mango, red peppers, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro into small cubes. Squeeze a little lime juice over them and mix. Set it aside.
- 10
Remove your rested chicken from the pan and dice it up.
- 11
(Optional) Heat up sweet corn on stove top or in oven. Set aside.
- 12
Assemble your salad.
Layer mixed greens, cilantro lime rice, grilled chicken, mango salsa, sweet corn, diced tomato, avocado, diced sweet potato, crumbled feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and a drizzle of Caesar dressing.

ENJOY!

Korean Chicken Rice Salad/Bowl Korean Chicken Rice Salad/Bowl
I needed healthy, but wanted the flavors of Korea. My wife wanted rice, so I kind of fudged a Vietnamese style noodle salad, and created this. My wife really liked it, I prefer noodles myself, it's more a texture thing. This is still pretty good, and healthy overall. Sorry of like a bibimbap, but more lettuce replacing some of the rice, and a not spicy sauce instead.It lends itself to what you have on hand, and is not really difficult. Fo Fa -
