Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken breast, diced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup salsa
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– Sour cream, avocado, and cilantro for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating your One Pan Chicken Burrito Bowl is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Pan: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pan and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Mix in the diced bell pepper and onion, sautéing until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Incorporate Rice and Beans: Stir in the uncooked rice, black beans, and corn until well combined with the chicken and veggies.
5. Add Liquids: Pour the chicken broth and salsa over the mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
6. Bring to a Simmer: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
7. Cheese It Up: Remove the lid, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, cover again for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
8. Serve: Use a big spoon to scoop into bowls. Top with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or any other desired toppings.
