Chicken Fajita Bowl

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 3 bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 large red onion
  • 2 cups cilantro lime rice
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinshed)
  • 2 cups chopped lettuce
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo
  • 1/2 cup chipotle aioli (click for recipe)

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken to about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. I used two large breasts and cut them in half lengthwise and cooked just like that (and cut after cooking), but you can also cut into strips before seasoning.
  2. Combine all seasonings and tapioca in a bowl.
  3. Coat the chicken in the seasonings.
  4. Add the olive oil to a skillet. Once hot, add the chicken and cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.
  5. Set aside on a plate and cut into strips if you haven't already.
  6. Add the sliced red onion and peppers to the same skillet and saute until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. Add more oil if you notice anything sticking.
  7. Add the chicken back in and saute for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors blend.
  8. Assemble your bowls with a base of rice/lettuce, then add in the chicken/pepper mix, black beans, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli.
  9. If you aren't a chipotle fan, you can use my cashew queso and cilantro lime crema instead.
  10. Also delicious with fresh guacamole and cilantro on top! Enjoy!
