A colorful and nutritious chicken burrito bowl packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, perfect for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by dicing the onion and chopping the bell pepper into small pieces.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, season with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the onion, bell pepper, and corn. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  4. Add the black beans and cooked brown rice to the skillet. Pour in the salsa and mix everything together. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce is slightly thick and glossy.
  5. Scoop the mixture into bowls. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for extra zest!

Notes

Ensure chicken is cooked through, and adjust spices to taste.
