Description

This Burrito Bowl with Grilled Chicken delivers high protein, fresh vegetables, and satisfying flavor in every bite. Perfect for meal prep, quick lunches, family dinners, and anyone looking for a healthy homemade burrito bowl recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 2 tomatoes diced
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a bowl, coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the chicken rest briefly so the seasonings can penetrate and build deeper flavor before grilling.
  2. 2
    Prepare the vegetables using the VanChop Large Dicing Blade. Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and avocado into uniform pieces while chopping the lettuce into bite-sized portions for easy assembly and balanced texture.
  3. 3
    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until fully cooked and lightly charred on both sides, creating a smoky flavor that complements the fresh ingredients in the bowl.
  4. 4
    Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest for several minutes. Slice the chicken into strips so the juices redistribute and the meat stays tender.
  5. 5
    Warm the rice, black beans, and corn. Arrange the rice as the base in serving bowls, then add black beans and corn evenly across each portion for a balanced foundation.
  6. 6
    Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and avocado. Distribute the ingredients evenly to create a colorful and appealing presentation.
  7. 7
    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowls and gently toss portions if desired. Adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or spices according to personal preference.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately with salsa, tortilla chips, or guacamole. Enjoy this healthy Burrito Bowl with Grilled Chicken as a quick dinner, meal prep lunch, or family-friendly meal..
