"The Exercise Coach studio near me always feel calm and welcoming. The trainers greet me and I feel at home. I’ve been training there for over two years and my body at 77 is transformed. I’ve been carefully coached in the correct form to provide a safe way to target essential muscle groups. Big gyms feel foreign to me, but I look forward to my sessions twice a week with this great group."

Healthy Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls

(Via: https://bit.ly/45xBnli )

Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups cauliflower rice
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 cup broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

How to Make It
Season the Chicken
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and season with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until every piece is evenly coated.

Cook the Chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil along with the garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli, then sauté for 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Cook the Cauliflower Rice
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.

Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Garnish and Serve
