Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Avocado, sliced (for serving)
– Sour cream (for serving)
– Lime wedges (for serving)


Instructions

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

1. Heat the Pot: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat.

2. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.

4. Combine Ingredients: Add the rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to combine.

5. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

6. Simmer: Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Add Cheese: Once the rice is tender, remove the pot from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover the pot for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

8. Garnish: Fluff the mixture with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro.

9. Serve: Dish up the burrito bowls in individual serving bowls. Top with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and lime wedges for extra flavor.

10. Enjoy: Share with family or friends, or pack it up for meal prep!
