Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup long-grain white rice (or brown rice)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (or water)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 avocado, diced or sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Season and cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the diced chicken with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, around 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, followed by the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to cook, about 15 minutes.
- Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer until heated through and the rice is fully cooked.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle cheese over the top, allowing it to melt. Serve your one pan chicken burrito bowl with avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges for a delightful finish.
