Ingredients
Marinated Chicken Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons distilled vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
Burrito Bowl Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup corn (salsa)
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/4 cup pico de gallo
- 1/4 cup guacamole
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- fresh lime for garnish (optional)
Instructions
To make the chicken:
- Place chicken breasts and all marinade ingredients in a large ziplock. Make sure everything combines well, and refrigerate to marinate overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove from marinade and grill or cook stovetop on high heat until cooked through completely, about 5-6 minutes each side
- Chop chicken into small pieces. Cook again stovetop in olive oil on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken pieces get slightly crispy on the outside
To assemble the bowls:
I like using wide, shallow bowls. You can assemble the ingredients however you’d like, but I like to quarter the bowl with 1) lettuce 2) rice 3) chicken 4) combo of black beans + corn. Then top everything with cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, Greek yogurt and cilantro.
