The Play-by-Play for Your High Protein Chicken Burrito Bowl
- First off, let’s get that chicken marinating. Mix olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pop the chicken in, give it a good mix, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- While our chicken’s soaking up all the flavor, get the rice cooking. Just follow the instructions on the package.
- Next, it’s time for our chicken to hit the pan. Cook it on medium heat for about 7-10 minutes on each side until it’s fully cooked. Then, let it rest.
- Using the same pan (because who needs extra washing, right?), toss in the diced red bell pepper and sauté until it’s nice and soft.
- Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.
- The grand assembly! Divide the cooked rice into two bowls. Add the chicken, black beans, corn, avocado, bell pepper, and cilantro equally into each bowl.
- And for the finale, a fresh squeeze of lime over each bowl.
Savvy Tips to Ace Your High Protein Chicken Burrito Bowl
