Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 - 1 1/2 lbs.
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons homemade taco seasoning or store bought
2 cups cilantro lime cauliflower rice
2/3 cup pico de gallo or your favorite salsa; or sub with chopped tomato
1/2 cup homemade guacamole sub with diced avocado
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce chopped; optional
1 cup black beans sub with your favorite beans or omit entirely
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese omit for dairy-free option

Instructions

Prepare the chicken:

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the chicken breast in a zip top bag and pound to even thickness. Remove from the bag and brush both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with taco seasoning.

Grill the chicken for 7-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your chicken. Remove from heat and allow to rest covered loosely with foil for 5-10 minutes. Slice or chop when the chicken has cooled enough to handle it.

Assemble the burrito bowls:

Place the desired amount of cauliflower rice between 2 bowls. Top with chicken, chopped romaine, black beans, guacamole, salsa and cheese if using. Serve with extra chopped cilantro and lime wedges as desired, and enjoy!

Notes

Pro tip: Prep the grilled chicken breast and cauliflower rice in advance to make assembly even faster.
These chicken burrito bowls are highly customizable. Use rotisserie or shredded chicken, or swap out the chicken for beef. You may also omit the meat altogether and enjoy a vegetarian cauliflower rice burrito bowl!
This recipe is easily scaled to feed a crowd. Simply prepare more chicken depending on the amount of people of you are serving.
Chicken burrito bowls are great for meal prep! Portion everything separately into air tight containers and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. The guacamole may be omitted for meal prep as it will discolor, or add sliced avocado the day that it's served.
