Make this easy, healthy, and flavorful chicken burrito bowl tonight using just one pan for minimal cleanup. This recipe is perfect for quick weeknight dinners and simple meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet (1 oz) low-sodium taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • Toppings (optional): shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the cut chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken and stir to coat everything evenly.
  4. Add the uncooked rice, rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies (with liquid), and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  6. After 15 minutes, remove the skillet from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in the frozen corn. The residual heat will warm the corn through.
  8. Fluff the rice and chicken mixture with a fork.
  9. Serve the mixture immediately in bowls, topped with your favorite fresh toppings like cheese, salsa, or avocado for a satisfying, customizable meal.

Notes

  • For meal prep, divide the base mixture (chicken, rice, beans) into airtight containers. Store toppings separately and add them just before eating. This base freezes well for up to three months.
  • To make this a Chipotle Style Chicken Bowl, use extra lime juice in the rice mixture and add a dash of smoked paprika to the chicken seasoning.
  • If you prefer shredded chicken, cook the chicken breasts whole in the broth mixture, then shred them with two forks before stirring in the corn.
