Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown, your choice)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream and salsa for topping (optional)
Instructions to Make It Happen
- First things first, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece is coated well.
- Next, grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice according to package instructions. You can use leftover rice if you got it, that’s always a time-saver!
- Once the chicken is ready, you can start assembling your bowls. Grab a good-sized bowl and layer that cooked rice at the bottom.
- Add the sliced chicken on top of the rice, then throw in those black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Don’t be shy with the toppings, y’all!
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over everything and top it off with diced avocado. If you’re feeling fancy, add a dollop of sour cream and a splash of salsa.
- Serve these bowls warm and watch everyone dig in, ‘cause trust me, they will!
And that’s it, folks! A delicious Chicken Burrito Bowl that’s easy on the eyes and even easier on the prep. Enjoy, and happy eating!
