Ingredients

CHICKEN:

  • 8-10 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 whole canned chipotle pepper minced
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from the can
  • 1 whole lime quartered
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Bowl Toppings (choose as many as you like):

  • chipotle chicken air fried, skillet or grilled
  • fajita veggies (bell peppers and onions)
  • 90 second white rice mixed with lime juice and zest
  • romaine (or iceberg) lettuce thinly sliced/shredded
  • 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • corn salsa warmed corn + pickled jalapeno and onion
  • fresh pico de gallo or salsa
  • guacamole or sliced avocado
  • shredded cheese cheddar or monterey jack
  • sour cream or greek yogurt
  • fresh cilantro

Chipotle Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 whole chipotle in adobo sauce minced
  • 1 wedge lime juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • small pinch salt

Instructions

  • Whisk sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Gather ad prep the bowl toppings you're going to use. Many of the ingredients are available in store. 90 second rice is a game changer (squeeze in fresh lime juice and zest).
  • Marinate chicken then cook in whatever method you prefer: air fry, skillet or grill. If making fajita veggies, cook alongside the chicken (air fry works great!).
    When the chicken is finished cooking, transfer to a cutting board, cool and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • Add shredded lettuce and rice to the bottom of a shallow bowl.
  • Top with diced chicken, fajita veggies, black beans, corn salsa, pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) -- or whatever toppings you like.
  • Drizzle chipotle sauce over the top. Serve with a wedge of lime for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
