As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, it's time to embrace the vibrant flavors of summer. Our mango, avocado, halloumi, cucumber, and chicken bowl recipe epitomizes summer goodness. Combining juicy mango, creamy avocado, refreshing cucumber, savory halloumi cheese, and tender chicken into a mouthwatering bowl bursting with flavor and goodness.
Ingredients:
1 ripe mango, diced
1 ripe avocado, diced
Halloumi cheese, sliced into thick strips
1 large cucumber
Chicken breasts or thighs
Quinoa, rice, or low-carb rice alternatives like konjac or cauliflower rice
Juice of 1 lime
¼ Cup Balsamic vinegar
Juice of a lemon
2 tbsp mayo
1 to 2 tbsp minced garlic
1 to 2 tbsp dice Thai pepper (or other preferred pepper)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Instructions:
Combine the minced garlic, diced Thai pepper, chopped parsley, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, mayo, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the sliced chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through and nicely charred.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Add your cubed cucumber, mango, and avocado to a bowl with ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, the juice of a lime, and a tbsp or two of olive oil for extra flavor. Season to taste.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat while the chicken cooks. Add the halloumi slices and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy. Once cooked, set aside.
Add your cooked quinoa or low-carb rice alternative evenly among serving bowls. Add your sliced grilled chicken, mango, avocado, cucumber salad, and grilled halloumi slices.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and drizzle with balsamic vinegar—season with salt and pepper to taste.
