Move over Chipotle! Well, not too far over because I still happen to be a big fan.
However, sometimes it’s just better (and healthier) to remake some of your favorites at home. So I decided to create my own Grande Chicken Burrito Bowl – it’s packed with flavorful, healthy ingredients and it is super easy to make.
Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
• 6 oz chicken breast, pounded to even thickness
• 1/8 tsp cumin
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped into bite size pieces
• 1/2 cup white rice, cooked
• 1/3 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
• 1/3 cup canned corn
• 1/3 cup canned black beans, rinsed
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp granulated stevia, or your preferred sweetener
PREPARATION
• Put the cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a small Ziploc bag. Add the chicken breast. Seal the bag and shake well to coat the chicken breast. Set aside.
• Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and set over medium-high heat.
• Remove your chicken breast from the seasoning bag and cook for 6-8 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked, nicely browned on the outside, and no longer pink in the center.
• While the chicken is cooking, prepare your burrito bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine the black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, cilantro, lime juice, and sweetener. Mix well.
• In a large bowl, put your salsa on the bottom (I find it to be much easier to eat this way …and less messy). Next, layer the lettuce, then the rice, then the black bean mixture.
• Once chicken is done, remove from heat and slice. Place over the top of your prepared burrito bowl. Enjoy!

So this may be a dumb question, the bowl is more than a serving correct? How much is considered a serving? I’m following my macros so I want to make sure I have the numbers correct. Thanks

In each recipe, under NUTRITION INFO you will see how many servings the recipe makes and the macros.

This is confusing because if the recipe makes 2 servings, then why aren’t the values per bowl directly divided by 2? These numbers just don’t make sense. How could there be more fat in half the recipe than in the whole recipe? Could you please double check the nutrition info for 2 servings?

Log in to replyThe second set of nutrition data appears to be from the “frosted carrot cake overnight oats.” Someone used that page as a template for this one and didn’t bother to delete the previous info.
