Adobe Chicken Burrito Bowl

FOR THE MARINATED CHICKEN:

Chicken breast: I prefer to use chicken breast for this recipe because it is lean and has a high protein content. However, you can use whatever type of chicken you like.
Chipotle peppers in adobo: Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapeño peppers that have been dried and canned in a sauce made from vinegar, tomato, garlic, and spices. They add the perfect amount of heat and smokiness to this dish.
Lime juice: The lime juice helps to tenderize the chicken and adds a bit of acidity to balance out the spice from the chipotle peppers.
Garlic: Garlic is a key ingredient in this marinade. It adds depth of flavor and helps to tenderize the chicken.
Avocado oil: Avocado oil is a healthy fat that helps to keep the chicken moist while cooking.
Salt: As always, salt is important for bringing out all of the flavors in this dish

FOR THE CILANTRO LIME RICE:

White rice: Long grain white rice makes up the base of this protein bowl and is very receptive to added flavor. Just make sure you rinse it before cooking to remove any excess starch.
Cilantro: Cilantro is a key flavor in this dish and ties everything together. It adds a bright, fresh flavor to the rice. It’s also a great source of antioxidants.
Lime juice & Zest: In combination with the zest, the lime juice gives the rice a tart and tangy flavor and a bit of brightness.
Salt: White rice is very much a blank canvas. You’ll want to make sure you season it well with salt to bring out all of the flavors.

TOPPINGS:

Romaine lettuce: Romaine lettuce is an excellent option for this recipe because it is crisp and has a mild flavor. However, you can use whatever type of lettuce you like.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes add a pop of color and freshness to this dish. I like to use Roma tomatoes because they are small and have a sweet flavor.
Avocado: Avocados are a great source of healthy fats and add creaminess to this dish.
Black beans: Black beans are a great source of protein and fiber. They also add a bit of heartiness to this dish.
Corn: Corn is a classic burrito bowl ingredient. It adds sweetness and crunch to this dish.
Red Onions: Red onions are a great way to add a bit of color and sweetness to this dish.
Cilantro: Cilantro is the perfect garnish for this dish. It adds a bright, fresh flavor and ties everything together.
