  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice among bowls and top with sliced chicken, reserved chimichurri, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and red onion.
  6. Drizzle the Garlic Sauce: Finish with a drizzle of garlic sauce and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for maximum flavor infusion. Use fresh herbs for better taste.
