Chipotle-inspired Chicken Burrito Protein Bowl

For the Chicken:

¼ cup avocado oil

3 tbsp lime juice

3 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 1 ½ tablespoon adobo sauce

1 ½ tsp garlic powder

¾ tsp salt

1 ½ lbs chicken breast, cut into strips

For the Cilantro Lime Rice:

1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed

1 ½ cups water

¼ tsp salt, plus more to taste

Zest of 1 lime, plus 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

To Assemble:

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 avocado, chopped

1 cup frozen corn, thawed

1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

½ small red onion, chopped

Prepare the Chicken:

In a large bowl, combine avocado oil, lime juice, chopped chilies, adobo sauce, garlic powder, and salt.

Add chicken strips and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Cook the Cilantro Lime Rice:

In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and rice, then return to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15-18 minutes.

Remove from heat, uncover, and fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and additional salt to taste.

Assemble the Bowl:

In serving bowls, layer cilantro lime rice and chopped romaine lettuce.

Top with cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, chopped avocado, thawed corn, black beans, and chopped red onion.
