1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
For the bowl

2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or mixed greens (optional base)

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano.
Step 2: Cook the chicken
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C).
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Step 3: Prepare the bowl ingredients
While the chicken rests, slice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. If using a grain base, warm the rice or quinoa slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the bowl
Divide the base (rice, quinoa, or greens) between two bowls. Arrange the sliced chicken, avocado, and tomatoes on top.
Step 5: Add dressing and garnish
Drizzle with lemon or lime juice and the optional dressing. Finish with fresh herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper.
