We’re big fans of the ubiquitous “power bowl,” but we have to admit, this one’s extra special. It’s a veritable one-bowl feast that’s positively bursting with flavor! Savoury and vibrant yellow rice is topped with cumin-spiced chicken, lightly charred veggies, fresh tomato salsa, and the world’s best condiment: chimichurri.
