Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional for color)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts (cubed)
  • 2 Tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup finely crushed pretzels
  • light spray avocado oil
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium avocado (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm your oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment or light oiling.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the honey mustard sauce ingredients thoroughly and set half aside for later.
  3. Beat the egg into the remaining sauce and fold in the chopped chicken so it is fully coated. Allow this to marinate briefly.
  4. Mix tapioca starch, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and crushed pretzels in a large bowl.
  5. Toss the marinated chicken pieces in this dry mixture until well covered.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken evenly on the baking sheet and spray lightly with avocado oil.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the chicken bites once halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  8. While baking, combine cucumbers, vinegar, and salt to lightly pickle them and set aside.
  9. Quickly sauté the corn on the stovetop for a few minutes until heated.
  10. Divide warmed rice into four bowls, then top with the baked chicken, sautéed corn, pickled cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and optional avocado slices.
  11. Finish by drizzling each bowl with the reserved honey mustard sauce and serve.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
  • You can coat each chicken piece individually in the dry pretzel mixture for better breading, or toss them all together to save time
