Ingredients for Burrito Bowl with Chicken
- chicken breasts
- black beans
- rice – use white, brown rice or even quinoa
Toppings: shredded cheese, lettuce, pico, salsa, avocado, sour cream, red onion, fresh cilantro, limes, corn, fajita veggies
How to Make Chicken Burrito Bowls
Start by boiling your chicken in a pot of water. You can also make Shredded Chicken in the Crock Pot!
While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice or quinoa according to the directions on the package and preparing other toppings such as corn, black beans, etc.
Once the chicken has cooked, you can season it with fajita mix or homemade taco seasoning.
Build out your bowl by starting with your grain (rice or quinoa), layer with chicken and your favorite ingredients.
How to Store Leftovers
If you happen to have leftovers, these chicken bowls make for a easy lunch the following day. You can build your own bowl, but, be sure to only include ingredients that are going to heat well together. You don’t want to heat the cheese or sour cream, guacamole, etc.
Store in an air tight container and heat up in the microwave.
