Chicken Burrito Bowls

April 5, 2016


We've found a new favorite! With a little culinary imagination husband and I whipped up these AMAZING chicken burrito bowls. They're so good that we've eaten them for dinner twice in four days. Plus they leave you with leftovers for a healthy and delicious lunch. That's saying something considering I'm not the biggest fan of leftovers!



  • What You'll Need
    • For the seasoned chicken
      • 6 chicken thighs (boneless & skinless)
      • Chili powder
      • Onion powder
      • Salt & pepper
    • For the bowl
      • Minute brown rice
      • Corn (we used a steamable bag)
