High-Protein Chicken Burrito Bowl

High-Protein Chicken Burrito Bowl


  • Total Time: 49 minute
  • Diet: Gluten-Free, High-Protein

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or white rice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn kernels
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (as a high-protein sour cream alternative)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly in the spices.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan.
  3. Cook the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through and has a nice brown crust on the outside.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, warm up your black beans and corn in a small pot or in the microwave if desired.
  5. Prepare four bowls for assembly. Divide the cooked rice evenly between the bowls.
  6. Top the rice with the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices.
  7. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt to each bowl and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the top.
