Blackened Chicken Broth Bowls

About This Recipe

Cheesy tomato brothy rice with blackened chicken breast and herby sliced tomatoes.

Ingredients

• 4 small (24 oz total) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• ½ The Blackened Seasoning Blend
• 4 cups Chicken Bone Broth
• 1 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese
• 4 oz Cheddar Cheese
• 2 Tablespoons Double Concentrated Tomato Paste
• ½ The Blackened Seasoning Blend
• 2 Tablespoons Paprika
• 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
• 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
• 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
• ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 6 cups Steamed Rice (I used Grain Trust frozen steamed jasmine rice)
• 16 oz Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
• 2 small Jalapeño Peppers (seeded and diced (or green bell pepper if you prefer))
• 2 handfuls Fresh Parsley (chopped)
• 2 Green Onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 Lemon (juiced)
• Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare the rice and make the tomato salsa. Toss the sliced tomatoes, parsley, peppers, and lemon juice together. Salt to taste and set aside until ready to serve.
2. Mix the blackened seasoning ingredients together and roughly cut in half.
3. Cook the chicken. Coat the chicken breast in olive oil before adding half the seasoning blend. Once the chicken is evenly coated in the seasoning, air fry at 375ºF for 15-18 minutes or until it reaches and internal temperature of 165ºF. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. Make the broth. Add the remaining half of the seasoning blend to a blender along with the broth, cottage cheese, cheddar, and tomato paste. Blend until completely smooth then transfer to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring the broth to a simmer, stirring occasionally, before reducing the heat to low. Keep warm until ready to serve.
5. Serve. To make 6 bowls, add 1 cup of rice to each bowl along with about ⅔ an air fried chicken breast (about 3 oz) and a little more than 3/4 cup of broth (about 200g). Garnish with the tomato salsa and some extra lemon juice.
