Chicken Tacos

Add 11 veggies to your weekly count while you enjoy these delicious and filling tacos. To keep the chicken moist, time your prep work so that you pull the chicken out of the oven just before serving. Ready to eat? Bring out the taco shells and fill them with rice, daikon slaw, chicken, guacamole, and a drizzle of Sriracha aioli.

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Place chicken in a baking pan and sprinkle with paprika, pepper, and chili powder. Drizzle with honey and spray with oil to moisten. Cook for 15 minutes.

  3. Remove from oven, flip, and season with paprika, pepper, and chili powder again. Cook for 10 more minutes.

  4. Remove from oven, cover, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving. (The chicken keeps well in the refrigerator for two to three days.)

For the Guacamole

  1. In a bowl, combine avocados, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, black beans, corn, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Prepare the Sriracha Aioli

  1. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise and Sriracha until evenly combined. Put in a squeeze bottle to drizzle over tacos.

Prepare the Daikon Slaw

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, vinegar, oil, honey, and salt.

  2. In a medium bowl, toss carrots and daikon with dressing. Mix in parsley (if using) and serve.

Prepare the Brown Rice

  1. In a pot, bring the rice, vegetable broth, parsley, and salt to a boil.

  2. Reduce to low and simmer 40 minutes (or longer if needed), checking periodically to see if additional broth (or water) is needed.

  3. Fluff rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes:
Yields 1/2 cup

Notes:
Daikon is a radish hailed for its health benefits. If you can’t find it, jicama is a great substitute.

Notes:
Can’t find low-sodium broth? If the broth you’re using has salt in it, omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt listed in the recipe.

Alternatively, you can use store-bought frozen brown rice such as Heaven and Earth.
