Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lime (zest and juice)
1 small red onion (diced)
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus additional for serving)
1 can black beans ((14 ounces) rinsed and drained)
1 can corn ((14 ounces) drained, or 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn (thawed if frozen))
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes (about 1 pint)
1 jalapeño (seeded and diced)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (plus additional for serving)
1 teaspoon ground chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less or omit if sensitive to spice)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Diced avocado (or guacamole)
Shredded cheese
Non-fat plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
Salsa

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board with some space between and cover with a large piece of plastic wrap. With a mallet, lightly pound the meat to an even thickness so. Place in a shallow dish.
  • Top the chicken with the olive oil, salt, pepper, lime zest, and lime juice. Rub and turn to coat. Let rest at least 15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients or refrigerate for up to 8 hours (let stand at room temperature at least 10 minutes prior to cooking). Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium high (about 425 to 450 degrees F).
  • Place the red onion in a small bowl and cover with water (this takes off some of the red onion's bite while preserving its flavor. You can skip if you like raw red onion just as it is). Set aside.
  • Prepare the quinoa according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • To make the dressing, in a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, cayenne, and black pepper.
  • Drizzle over the warm quinoa, then add cilantro, and toss to combine.
  • Lightly oil the grill. Grill the chicken until completely cooked through and the temperature on an instant read thermometer reads 160 to 165 degrees, about 8 to 12 minutes total, flipping once or twice throughout. The amount of time you need will vary based on the size and thickness of each breast. Remove to a plate, cover, and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Cut into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl with the quinoa.
  • Drain the red onion, then add to the bowl with the quinoa.
  • Gently stir in the black beans, corn, tomato, and jalapeno. Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and any desired toppings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your burrito bowl the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Chipotle chicken is a great base, but you can add other spices and seasonings to taste. For example, you could add cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Make sure your rice is cooked perfectly. Fluff your rice with a fork before adding it to the bowl. This will help to prevent it from clumping together.
  • Don't overfill your bowl. You want to be able to mix everything together easily. If you add too much, it will be difficult to eat.
  • Serve your burrito bowl immediately. This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the dish.

Conclusion:

Chipotle chicken burrito bowls are a delicious and easy meal that can be customized to your liking. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they're also great for meal prep. With a little planning, you can have a healthy and satisfying meal ready in no time.
