Finish everything with a buttery Garlic Parmesan sauce drizzled right over the top, and you've got a simple meal that's easy to make, packed with flavor, and ready in no time. Let's get to it.
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp Kosmos Q Dirty Bird Rub
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups cooked basmati rice
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup shredded carrots
½ cup cucumber, diced
4 Tbsp butter, melted
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a cutting board or baking sheet.
Drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub it evenly over all sides.
Season the chicken generously with 2 tablespoons of Kosmos Q Garlic Parmesan Wing Dust and 2 tablespoons of Kosmos Q Dirty Bird Rub.
Make sure the seasoning coats the chicken evenly so every bite gets plenty of that garlic Parmesan and savory BBQ flavor.
Once the chicken is seasoned, it's ready for the smoker.
Preheat your smoker to 325°F.
Once the smoker is up to temperature, place the seasoned chicken breasts directly on the cooking grate.
Keep the smoker steady at 325°F and let the chicken cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Smoke the chicken at 325°F for about 40 minutes, or until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Cooking time can vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts, so use an instant-read thermometer to make sure they're cooked through.
Once the chicken reaches 165°F, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 5 minutes.
After resting, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces or thin strips.
Now it's time to build the bowls.
While the chicken is cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of Kosmos Q Garlic Parmesan Wing Dust.
Stir everything together until the butter and seasoning are fully combined.
The result is a rich, buttery sauce loaded with garlic Parmesan flavor that's going to bring the whole bowl together.
Divide the cooked basmati rice evenly between four bowls.
Add the broccoli florets, shredded carrots, and diced cucumber around the rice.
Top each bowl with an even portion of the sliced smoked chicken.
Now you've got fluffy rice, smoky chicken, crisp vegetables, and plenty of color all ready for the final touch.
Drizzle the Garlic Parmesan butter sauce generously over the chicken and rice.
Let that buttery sauce work its way over the warm chicken and rice so every bite gets a little bit of that garlic Parmesan goodness.
If desired, finish the bowls with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and a little fresh parsley.
Serve the bowls while the chicken and rice are still warm.
Give everything a quick toss before digging in so the sauce, chicken, rice, and vegetables come together in every bite.
The combination of smoky chicken, buttery garlic Parmesan flavor, fluffy rice, and fresh vegetables makes this an easy meal that doesn't sacrifice flavor.
Juicy smoked chicken, fluffy basmati rice, crisp vegetables, and a rich Garlic Parmesan butter sauce all come together in one easy bowl.
The Kosmos Q Garlic Parmesan Wing Dust brings the bold garlic and Parmesan flavor, while Dirty Bird adds another layer of savory BBQ seasoning to the chicken.
