Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for marinade)
  • Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or chopped kale
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, preferably 1 hour or more.
  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or jar. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Cook rice according to package instructions or sauté cauliflower rice with a bit of oil and salt until tender, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and charred. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  5. On a large platter or individual bowls, layer rice or cauliflower rice. Arrange black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sliced chicken in sections. Sprinkle cheese and jalapeños on top. Drizzle with ranch dressing and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
  6. Serve immediately, encouraging guests to mix ingredients or enjoy separately.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes for best flavor; resting chicken after cooking keeps it juicy. Whisk ranch dressing ahead and chill for better flavor. Store components separately if making ahead to avoid sogginess.
