Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 whole Avocado, diced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, juiced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with packet taco seasoning, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the base of your bowl by adding 0.5 cup of cooked rice into each serving bowl.
Evenly distribute the black beans and corn among the bowls (approximately 0.25 can of beans and 0.25 cup of corn per bowl).
Top each bowl with cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and diced avocado.
Add the sliced chicken on top of each bowl.
In a small bowl, mix chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this dressing over each taco bowl.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the bowls and add a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful chicken taco bowls!
