Ingredients:
For the Chicken & Sausage:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 lb andouille sausage, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Creamy Cilantro Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
For the Bowls:
2 cups cooked rice
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken & Sausage: In a large bowl, combine the chicken and sausage with the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Cook the Chicken & Sausage: Grill or pan-fry the chicken and sausage until cooked through and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per side. Let the chicken and sausage rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Make the Creamy Cilantro Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice between two bowls. Top with the sliced chicken, sausage, and drizzle with the Creamy Cilantro Sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
For a spicier dish, add more Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper.
You can use any type of cooked rice you like, such as brown rice or quinoa.
Serve the bowls with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream
