Instructions
Creating your Chicken Burrito Bowl is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cook Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
3. Rest & Slice: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Once rested, slice the chicken into strips.
4. Prepare Rice: If you haven’t done so already, cook your rice according to package instructions.
5. Warm Beans & Corn: In a small saucepan, warm the black beans and corn over low heat until heated through.
6. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice as the base.
7. Add Chicken: Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the rice.
8. Layer Toppings: Top with warm black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese.
9. Finish with Greens: Add chopped romaine lettuce, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a generous scoop of salsa.
10. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Each of these steps brings you closer to an incredible Chicken Burrito Bowl that is both delicious and satisfying!
