Instructions

Creating One Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.
5. Incorporate Rice: Stir in the rice, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with their juices, and chicken broth.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
7. Fluff and Rest: Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together.
8. Garnish: Fluff the rice with a fork, then garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly. Each part of the process is easy to follow, ensuring that you’ll have a delicious meal ready in no time.
