Layering Your Holiday Bowls
1. Start with Rice
Begin by adding about ¼ cup of uncooked basmati rice to the bottom of each oven-safe bowl.
2. Add Onions
Sprinkle a layer of finely chopped red onion over the rice for a pop of flavor.
3. Place the Chicken
Lay a skinless chicken thigh on top of the onion layer, ensuring each bowl has one piece.
4. Top with Veggies
Add the cauliflower, broccoli, and carrot mix on top of the chicken.
5. Season Generously
Sprinkle thyme, salt, and pepper over the veggies and chicken for a festive, aromatic touch.
6. Pour in the Broth
Mix Nutra Nourished Beef Bone Broth Powder with hot water and pour the broth evenly into each bowl, allowing the rice to absorb the rich flavor.
7. Finish with Cheese
Top each bowl with a generous sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese for a golden, bubbly finish.
Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the bowls on a baking tray and bake for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the rice is tender, and the cheese is melted and golden.
