Description
So, you want some Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowls…do you? We’ve spent a few days perfecting this amazing recipe by Rachel Maser, and playing around with different ingredients. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
Instructions
- Start by preparing your marinade. In a small bowl add all the marinade ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Place the chicken pieces into an airtight storage container, or into a large, reusable bag and pour in the marinade.
- Seal your container tightly, then shake a bit to coat the chicken really well with the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight.
- When you're ready to cook your chicken, remove from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Immediately discard any leftover marinade.
- While your chicken is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients for the bowls.
- Cook your brown rice according to the package instructions.
- Chop the lettuce and mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Once the chicken has finished cooking and rice is ready, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
Chop your chicken into small bite-sized pieces as shown.- Divide rice equally among 4 serving bowls, or meal prep containers, then equally add in lettuce, beans, cheese and chicken as shown.
- Add salsa and guacamole on side as shown.
Finish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and freshly chopped cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
