Instructions
Creating the Chicken Fajita Bowl is a breeze if you follow these easy steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil and taco seasoning. Add chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for stronger flavor.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. Once done, remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for around 5-7 minutes, until soft and slightly charred. Remove from heat.
4. Prepare the Base: In bowls, start with a generous serving of cooked rice or quinoa as the base.
5. Assemble the Bowl: Top the rice with sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, black beans, corn, and avocado.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the bowls and serve with lime wedges. Add any additional toppings like salsa or sour cream for extra flavor.
