Blackened chicken and wild rice are the perfect pair in these flavorful, gluten free bowls! Topped with THE BEST Spicy Cashew Dressing, these healthy bowls are delicious and easy to make in 25 minutes!
Rub the blackened seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and rest on a cutting board while preparing the bowls.
Divide the carrots, cabbage, cucumber, cilantro, almonds, wild rice and arugula between four bowls.
Dice the blackened chicken and divide it between the bowls.
Drizzle the spicy cashew dressing over the bowls, or serve it in a small bowl on the side.
Serve a lime wedge on the side of each bowl for drizzling over the bowls.
Notes
To make these bowls low-carb, eliminate the wild rice. This will reduce the total carbs from 30, down to 13, and the net carbs down to 8 grams per bowl.
These bowls are naturally gluten free. If you purchase blackened seasoning, instead of making your own, always check the label to make sure it doesn't have any ingredients that contain gluten.
