Chicken Burrito Bowls

These Chicken Burrito Bowls are loaded with homemade salsa, cilantro-lime rice, and grilled chipotle chicken with a little lettuce on the side.

SAUTE RICE

01

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.

ADD BROTH

02

Stir in chicken broth, cover and simmer until tender about 20 minutes.

ADD CILANTRO

03

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice.

MAKE SALSA

04

Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

MARINADE CHICKEN

05

Add all of the ingredients including the chicken thighs to a large ziplock bag. Add salt and pepper. Toss and marinade for 1 hour or overnight.

GRILL CHICKEN

06

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees and spray the grill with cooking spray. Grill the chicken flipping halfway until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

ASSEMBLE

07

Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces. Layer the cilantro lime rice, black beans, chicken, salsa and shredded lettuce.

Top with any other favorite topping. I like jalapeños and sour cream. Serve immediately or package into airtight container for meal prep.
