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!
