Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Black beans, canned and drained
- 2 cups Brown rice, cooked
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into strips.
In each serving bowl, layer 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice and 1/4 cup of black beans.
Top with sliced grilled chicken, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, diced red onion, and sliced avocado.
Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro.
Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top as a substitute for sour cream.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious low-fat chipotle chicken burrito bowl!
