Why I Like this Recipe

This chicken breast bowl is simple, nourishing, and full of fresh flavour. The yoghurt and garlic marinade keeps the chicken juicy, and the jasmine rice makes the meal satisfying and comforting. Roasted chickpeas add texture and extra protein, while the cucumber and rocket salad keeps it fresh and crisp. It is easy enough for a weeknight dinner and great for meal prep too. Just keep the salad separate until you are ready to eat.

Tips and Variations

  • Use brown rice instead of jasmine rice if you want more fibre and a nuttier flavour.
  • Add chopped parsley or coriander to the salad for extra freshness.
  • For more vegetables, mix in cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes or grated carrot.
  • Sprinkle chilli flakes over the chicken before serving if you like a little heat.
  • Swap rocket for baby spinach if you prefer a milder salad.
  • Divide the chicken, rice and chickpeas into containers for easy meal prep lunches.
  • Serve the bowl warm with the salad on the side to keep the textures fresh.
  • Add a spoonful of Greek yoghurt on top for extra creaminess and protein.

Meal Storage

Store the chicken, rice, and chickpeas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the salad separate so it stays fresh and crisp.

Freezer tips

You can freeze the chicken, rice, and chickpeas for up to 2 months. Put them in freezer-safe containers. Do not freeze the fresh salad.

Let the frozen meal thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat it gently in a pan or microwave until it is hot all the way through before serving.

Closing Note
