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!
