Chicken Burrito Bowls



Well I'm sure no one is surprised with another Mexican dish :p This is an easy sub for Chipotle or Qdoba's burrito bowls... or at least in my mind it is. These were HUGE portions but still only topped out at 675 calories per serving. Also, I cooked the chicken in the crock pot and cooked it while I was gone for the day, but you could just cook two chicken breasts or pick of a pre-cooked chicken.

Ingredients:
  • 1 chicken (I only used part of the breast meat for the dish and will use the rest for another dinner)
  • Chili Powder
  • Pepper
  • Lowry's seasoning
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 2 medium onions, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups baby carrots 
  • 2 cups lettuce
  • 1/4 cup red onion
  • 4 Tbsp light sour cream
  • 4 Tbsp salsa (we used Renfro's habanero)
  • 1 medium avocado (cubed)
  • 1 package Organic Basmati 90 Second Rice, divided by 2
  • Juice of 1/2 lime, divided by 2
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, divided by 2
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed, divided by 2
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
Directions:
  • If you choose to do the crockpot option, you'll want to add the onions and baby carrots to the bottom of a crock pot. Season the whole chicken with the chili powder, pepper, lowry's and cayenne. Place the chicken on top of the veggies and then cook on low for 8 hours.
  • Heat the black beans, I did so by microwaving for 2 minutes. Then cook the 90 second rice.
  • Squeeze the lime juice evenly between the two bowls, add the cooked rice and then add the cilantro to each bowl and mix.
  • Next add the beans then the chicken and the rest of the toppings.
Now enjoy :)
