Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 3 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- 3 bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 large red onion
- 2 cups cilantro lime rice
- 1 can black beans (drained and rinshed)
- 2 cups chopped lettuce
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo
- 1/2 cup chipotle aioli (click for recipe)
Instructions
- Step 1: Pound the chicken to about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. I used two large breasts and cut them in half lengthwise and cooked just like that (and cut after cooking), but you can also cut into strips before seasoning.
- Step 2: Combine all seasonings and tapioca in a bowl.
- Step 3: Coat the chicken in the seasonings.
- Step 4: Add the olive oil to a skillet. Once hot, add the chicken and cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.
- Step 5: Set aside on a plate and cut into strips if you haven’t already.
- Step 6: Add the sliced red onion and peppers to the same skillet and saute until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. Add more oil if you notice anything sticking.
- Step 7: Add the chicken back in and saute for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors blend.
- Step 8: Assemble your bowls with a base of rice/lettuce, then add in the chicken/pepper mix, black beans, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli.
- Step 9: If you aren’t a chipotle fan, you can use my cashew queso and cilantro lime crema instead.
- Step 10: Also delicious with fresh guacamole and cilantro on top! Enjoy!
