Instructions

Making the Chicken Burrito Rice Bowl is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
3. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss until they are evenly coated with the spices.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Add Beans and Corn: Once the chicken is cooked, add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 3-5 minutes.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In a serving bowl, add a generous portion of cooked rice. Top with the chicken, bean, and corn mixture.
7. Add Fresh Ingredients: Layer on diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado slices, and shredded cheese.
8. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
