NOTE: be sure to stir the pot a few times during cooking to make sure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom.

How do I serve this dish?

That’s what I love about these  Chicken Burrito Bowls!  There are so many ways to eat them.   

  • serve on thier own, in a bowl with your favorite Mexican toppings like sour cream, salsa and avocado.
  • roll them up in a tortilla.
  • put a large scoop over  salad and top with ranch dressing (my fave!).
  • serve inside a lettuce wrap.

Store any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days.  It can be frozen for up to 3 months but when thawed the texture of the rice tends to change as it gets softer…still yummy but a bit mushy 🙂 .

How to use  ground beef, chicken or turkey in these Burrito Bowls –

  • simply sub the ground meat for the chicken and cook along with the veggies per the insructions.  However you may want to remove any residual grease from the pan.  Ground chicken or turkey will be much more lean than the beef.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts - cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped poblano pepper - or bell pepper, any color
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup black beans - drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn - frozen, canned or fresh
  • 1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes - undrained
  • 1 1.25 ounce packaged taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  • Add olive oil to a large skillet. Heat to medium high. Saute cubed chicken, onion and pepper until vegetables are soft. (Chicken may not be cooked all the way through but will continue to cook with the rice.)
  • Add rice, broth, beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat then reduce to low. Cover and cook stirring occasionally to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 20 minutes until rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
