Description

A sizzling, flavorful chicken fajita bowl made with juicy grilled chicken, sautéed peppers, and customizable toppings.


Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 small red onion, sliced

1 cup cooked rice or cauliflower rice

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

½ tsp smoked paprika

1 garlic clove, minced

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings: avocado, cilantro, Greek yogurt, salsa


Instructions

Marinate chicken with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices for at least 15 minutes.

Grill or pan-sear chicken on medium-high heat until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

Sauté peppers and onions in the same pan until slightly charred but still crisp.

Slice the cooked chicken.

Layer rice, veggies, and chicken into bowls.

Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

Swap rice for quinoa or greens for a low-carb version.

To save time, use pre-cooked chicken or batch-prepped grilled vegetables.
