Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 0.5 red onion
- 1 cucumber
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime, juiced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil and sauté the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and sliced red onion until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
5. While the peppers are cooking, peel and dice the cucumber and pit and dice the avocado. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro to make the avocado-lime sauce.
6. To assemble the taco bowls, place a generous handful of chopped romaine lettuce in each serving bowl.
7. Divide and arrange the cooked chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado-lime sauce evenly among the bowls.
8. Garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your fresh and healthy Paleo Chicken Taco Bowl!
