Step 1
Start by preparing your marinade. In a small bowl add all the marinade ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Step 2
Place the chicken pieces into an airtight storage container, or into a large, reusable bag and pour in the marinade.
Step 3
Seal your container tightly, then shake a bit to coat the chicken really well with the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight.
Step 4
When you're ready to cook your chicken, remove from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile add oil to a large heavy-bottomed skillet and heat over medium-high heat. I like to use my large cast iron skillet to create that beautiful char on this chicken.
Step 6
Add in the marinated chicken and cook until nicely browned, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes.
Step 7
Immediately discard any leftover marinade.
Step 8
While your chicken is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients for the bowls.
Step 9
Cook your brown rice according to the package instructions.
Step 10
Chop the lettuce and mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Step 11
Once the chicken has finished cooking and rice is ready, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 12
