Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound chicken breast, boneless, skinless
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 can blacked beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, diced
2 avocados, pitted, diced
2 cups cilantro lime rice
1/2 cup shredded cheese (colby jack or cheddar)
cilantro ranch dressing
fresh cilantro and lime for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, add the olive oil and taco seasoning. Whisk together until combined.
  • Slice chicken breast lengthwise down the middle if they are too thick. This will help cook the chicken faster and more evenly. Rub the chicken breasts generously on both sides with the oil/seasoning mixture.
  • Place the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  • Remove from heat and allow the chicken to sit while you prepare the bowls.
  • Evenly divide the bowl ingredients between 4 bowls. Slice the chicken and add 3 ounces of chicken to each bowl.
  • Drizzle with cilantro ranch, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime!
