DIY Cilantro Lime & Chicken Loaded Bowl
Tim Hortons has new yummy looking loaded bowls that caught my eye. We were on-the-go last Friday evening for an evening hockey away game without dinner prepped, so I gave the Cilantro Lime & Chicken Loaded a try.
It was good!
As I ate my loaded bowl in the arena lobby, I made mental notes of the ingredients so that I could recreate it at home.
Recreating restaurant & take-out meals at home is one of my favourite ways to eat healthier and not feel deprived. This dish was a hit at my dinner table & loaded with healthy grains, veggies & protein!
While this is not a dish that can be made in a pinch while on-the-go, it is a yummy & healthier choice for a restaurant style meal.
What take-out meals do you recreate at home?
