A bright, filling Chicken Burrito Bowl with tender chicken, fluffy rice, colorful veggies, beans, corn, and all your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cilantro-lime)
  • 1 can black beans (drained, rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen, canned, or grilled off the cob)
  • 1.5 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toppings: salsa or pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado or guacamole, shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, sliced jalapeño, red onion
  • Optional add-ins: sautéed bell peppers, hot sauce, pickled onions

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice. Rinse rice, then cook as directed. Fluff and keep warm. For extra flavor, stir in lime juice, zest, and chopped cilantro.
  2. Mix the seasoning. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pat chicken dry and rub with oil and seasoning mix.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp oil.
  4. Sear the chicken. Place chicken in the hot skillet. Cook without moving until browned, then flip.
  5. Prep toppings while the chicken cooks. Warm the black beans and corn in a small pan or microwave. Chop lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, and slice avocado and jalapeño.
  6. Cook the chicken until done: 6–8 minutes per side on medium heat, or until the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C). Prefer baking? Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18–22 minutes, until 165°F.
  7. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice. Build bowls with rice, beans, corn, chicken, and toppings. Finish with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Serve warm.

Notes

Store components separately for best texture. Refrigerate in airtight containers up to 4 days or freeze cooked chicken and rice up to 2 months.
