Cilantro lime rice — or cauliflower rice. You could also use quinoa, brown rice or minute rice. CHICKEN FAJITA FLAVOUR Taking a note from the Best Chicken Fajitas, we used that recipe as a base to make these burrito bowls! The marinade is so incredible, you don’t need to marinate the chicken for long at all! 5 minutes or overnight, customise it to your specific needs, then sear or grill chicken until beautifully charred on the outer edges, while juicy and tender on the inside. BURRITO BOWL MEAL PREP Prefer to meal prep instead of serving your burrito bowl as a main meal?
Have all of your fresh ingredients divided into 4-6 containers. Cook your chicken, peppers and rice — allow to cool and divide into containers. Prepare your dressing and pour into smaller salad dressing containers to avoid your burrito bowl going soggy. Save your avocado until ready to serve. Well-balanced with protein, carbs and healthy fats. You can make them lower in carbs by swapping out the rice for Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice and leaving out the corn. Add a drizzle of olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
Flip them a couple of times while cooking so they get a nice even char. Transfer chicken to a warm plate, loosely tent with foil and let rest. Fluff up rice with a fork and mix through lime juice and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed.
