HEALTHY CHICKEN BURRITO BOWL



Healthy Chicken Burrito Bowl image

Versatility is the name of the game in this deconstructed Healthy Chicken Burrito Bowl: the simple cilantro-lime marinade works just as well for fish and shrimp as it does for chicken, and the rice and beans can be switched out for your favorite grains and legumes.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves, plus whole leaves for serving
1/3 cup safflower or other neutral-flavored oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups shredded red cabbage
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 pounds)
2 cans (15 ounces each) black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
3 cups cooked brown or white rice
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
Salsa or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and oil; season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, toss cabbage with half of marinade; season with salt and pepper. Let stand while you prepare remaining ingredients.
  • Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2 inch thick. Remove plastic; transfer chicken to a baking dish and toss with remaining marinade. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Add chicken to skillet and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Add beans and 2 tablespoons water to skillet; cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add rice and 2 tablespoons water to same pan; cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to another bowl. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • To serve, divide rice, beans, corn, cabbage slaw, and chicken among four bowls. Serve with avocado, salsa, lime wedges, and more cilantro.

20 HEALTHY BURRITO RECIPES — EAT THIS NOT THAT
20-healthy-burrito-recipes-eat-this-not-that image

From eatthis.com
  • Protein-Packed Chicken Fajita Burrito. A rotisserie chicken is the perfect secret weapon for a super-fast burrito. This one combines onions, red and poblano peppers, black beans, salsa, and low-fat cheese for the perfect classic burrito in no time.
  • Plant-Based Breakfast Burrito. This tasty breakfast burrito combines scrambled eggs, plant-based meat, red peppers, onion, and black beans for a seriously filling, protein-packed breakfast.
  • Lighter Carne Asada Burrito Recipe. Lean flank steak stars in this satisfying burrito. A long soak in a chipotle-flavored marinade infuses the meat with tons of flavor.
  • Vegan Mega-Burritos. Go out on the vegan limb and try this easy chipotle-spiced cauliflower walnut taco meat filling for your next burrito. Sweet potato, guacamole, really good salsa, and vegan queso round out these dynamite wraps.
  • Fiber-Filled Breakfast Burrito. By swapping out worthless white tortillas for whole wheat, substituting fatty pork sausage for the lean chicken variety, and adding fiber-rich beans and some fresh avocado, we've slashed the calories in half while increasing the overall nutrition (and deliciousness).
  • Whole30 Breakfast Burrito. Using collard greens as a wrap is not traditional and there may be some pushback from the crowd, but trust us when we say it's delicious.
  • Crock-Pot Chicken Burritos. Use your trusty slow cooker to make a warm chicken and bean filling to make burritos for the whole family–or to freeze for later!
  • Healthy Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Avocado Breakfast Burritos. Mashed sweet potatoes add a texture similar to refried beans in this flavor-packed burrito recipe.
  • Korean BBQ Burritos. Lean top sirloin slow cooked with ginger, garlic, pear, soy sauce, and sesame oil is the star of this dish. Crunchy kimchi, rice, herbs, and Sriracha sauce make this a burrito you will never forget.
  • Ultimate Breakfast Burritos. If you're sick of not getting enough egg in every bite of burrito, try this ingenious method. The blogger uses a thin layer of egg that hugs the entire burrito instead of the usual scrambled egg.
