Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 15 ounces black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/2 cup red onion (diced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • Sliced avocado
  • Low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • Shredded low-fat cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, taco seasoning, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  2. Combine the Grains: While the chicken cooks, in another pot, prepare either your cooked brown rice or quinoa, following package instructions if you haven’t done so beforehand.
  3. Mix the Veggies: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest. In the same skillet, toss in your bell peppers, black beans, corn, and red onions. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In your serving bowls, start with a generous scoop of brown rice or quinoa. Layer with the sautéed veggie mixture, cooked chicken, and top with diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and lime juice.
  5. Garnish to Perfection: Finish off your burrito bowl with sliced avocado, low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa or pico de gallo, shredded lettuce or cabbage, and a sprinkle of low-fat cheese.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Consider keeping components separate if freezing.
