- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes until tender.
- Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook 8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Rest 10 minutes, then slice.
- To make dressing: Add mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, basil, parsley, chives, lemon juice, and garlic to a food processor. Pulse until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble bowls by dividing brown rice among 4 bowls. Top with sliced chicken, roasted asparagus, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with green goddess dressing and garnish with extra chives.
Notes
Swap chicken for roasted chickpeas or tofu for a vegetarian version.
Use roasted Brussels sprouts, broccoli, or zucchini instead of asparagus.
Try quinoa, farro, or cauliflower rice in place of brown rice.
Grill the chicken for extra smoky flavor.
Dressing keeps for several days but is not freezer-friendly.
