CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BOWL RECIPES

Steps:

• For the Marinade and Chicken: Add all marinade ingredients together, except chicken, to a food processor and puree until smooth.
• Rub the marinade into the chicken and marinate at least one hour, up to 4 hours. Season the chicken with salt to taste. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Slice into strips.
• For the Basmati Rice: In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted.
• Add water and salt; bring to a full rolling boil. At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice; fluff rice with a fork.
• To Assemble: Spoon the rice into each bowl, followed by the beans, then the grilled chicken strips. Top with your choice garnishes.

Steps:

• In a plastic bag, place chicken thighs and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the chipotle powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Seal the plastic bag and massage the meat until fully coated. Transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Cube the chicken thighs on a cutting board and set aside.
• In a large bowl, place cooked brown rice, and top the chopped chicken thighs, green peppers, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corns, red onions, and cilantro.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper over the bowl.
• Toss until well mixed.
• Enjoy!
