Chicken Fajitas Bowl

Ingredients

• •2 tablespoons olive oil
• •1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• •1 teaspoon chili powder
• •1 teaspoon cumin
• •1 teaspoon garlic powder
• •1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
• •1 medium onion, sliced
• •1 cup long-grain white rice
• •2 cups chicken broth
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• •1 lime, juiced
• •Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted, stirring frequently.

2. 2

   Add the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

3. 3

   While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

6. 6

   Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it topped with sautéed vegetables and sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
