Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

- Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly and let sit for about 10 minutes.

- Mix ranch dressing and BBQ sauce together; drizzle over the assembled bowls and garnish if desired.
