Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, caramelized onion powder, celery powder, salt, lime zest, olive oil, and chopped red onions. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the cooked rice with the teriyaki sauce until well coated.
  5. Spread the chicken on one side of a sheet pan and the seasoned rice on the other side.
  6. Bake until the chicken is fully cooked and golden and the rice is crispy.
  7. While everything bakes, prepare the dressing by blending the cottage cheese, yogurt, cilantro, scallions, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  8. Assemble the bowls by layering the massaged kale, crispy rice, chicken, chopped cucumber, sliced avocado, and a generous drizzle of the creamy herb dressing.
