The snow is FINALLY melting. Seriously though, am I the only one who feels like this winter drug on and on?
We still have a little snow in my back yard, but the patio is clear and the grill has been running.
I love a good bbq.
This past Monday, I bought a bunch of Canadian chicken and grilled them all. This led me to have a bunch of cooked chicken on hand for the week.
With that chicken, I made stir-fries, salads, and these honey dijon bbq chicken bowls.
What to look for when buying chicken breasts
The first thing I look for when I buy chicken breasts is for the Raised by a Canadian Farmer logo.
This ensures that the chicken I buy has been raised by a Canadian farmer, and gives me peace of mind that the chicken I buy has been audited by a third party to ensure that the health and safety standards are high. It also lets me know that I’m supporting farms that give back to our communities, and by doing that supports the Canadian economy.
TBK’s Pro Tip: Save time and money by using the Chicken App. This handy app stores your grocery list gives you recipe ideas and allows you to sync across your family. So if your loved one is at the store, they can check the app and see what needs to be brought home. LOVE this!

The next thing I look for is the best before date. I always shuffle the chicken around until I find the freshest option available (especially since it’s usually a day or two before I cook it up with my grocery shop schedule).
Mustard BBQ Sauce Chicken Bowls
I’ll be up front. I have never had a mustard based bbq sauce before. Carolina mustard bbq sauces are not common in my part of Canada but I like the sounds of them.
I used dijon mustard because I love the flavor and thought it would bring a kick to the sauce.
I used old dijon mustard (it’s grainy), but a smooth dijon would work just as well.

How to Make BBQ Chicken Bowls
It’s so easy to make healthy grilled chicken bowls.
Batch cook some grilled chicken and add whatever vegetables you have one hand.
I used frozen cauliflower rice, but regular rice works (and so does quinoa).
TBK’s Pro Tip: The serving size for this chicken bowl recipe is one, but the best part is it’s so easy to double, triple, or quadruple for how many people you need.
TBK’s Pro Tip: For a spicier sauce, try adding a teaspoon of Hot Honey to the Dijon BBQ sauce!

What a yummy healthy dish! I love riced cauliflower! We do low carb in our home, I so could modify it to low carb. What a great recipe!
Yum, these look and sound excellent! I love honey dijon flavor and the fact that these have an extra boost of nutrition.
This looks AMAZINGGGG! I need to try this out – easy lunch idea!
Yum! I am saving this recipe. I loved rice bowls with riced cauliflower. It adds so much flavor to the cauliflower when I eat it that way.
This looks absolutely amazing! I think I’m going to have to put it into the rotation next week. Thanks for sharing!

This is so AMAZING and I like this so much perfect for pack lunch for the family.
Thanks so much Cathy!
I love all the colors in this bowl. This looks yummy!
Flavour in the bbq sauce was unreal. I used yellow pepper over corn, because I do not eat corn and grilled the peppers while grilling my chicken. That’s just how I roll. Thank you. I’ll be eating this for lunch the next few days.
What does 2 Tbspns of the BBQ Sauce count as?
Does one bowl really have 1174 calories? That seems super high?
What can I use as a substitute for the Fiesta sweet and tangy seasoning? I am not able to get it where I live.
