Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes fresh or canned
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  2. Stir in the uncooked brown rice, chicken broth, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve the burrito bowl topped with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
