Chipotle Chicken & Rice Bowl

Directions

  1. 1Add 2 lbs diced chicken breast to a bowl.
  2. 2Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil & season with 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tbsp paprika, 1/2 tbsp onion powder, a few pinches of salt + ground pepper.
  3. 3Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1.5 tbsp plain yogurt, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp of the sauce from a can of adobo chipotle peppers and mix well.
  4. 4Let the chicken sit for 30 minutes, or cook it right away.
  5. 5When ready to eat, bring a pan to medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil, add chicken, and cook it through on medium heat, stirring every few mins so it cooks on all sides. This takes about 10-12 mins depending on thickness.
  6. 6Make a simple pico/guac by thinly dicing half a large red onion, a small handful of cherry tomatoes, & a large handful of fresh cilantro.
  7. 7Add to a bowl, sprinkle with salt, ground pepper, and the juice of 1 large lime. Mix well, then let it sit for about 10 mins, stirring it a couple of times.
  8. 8Make the chipotle crema sauce by mixing 3 tbsp sour cream, 1.5 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp adobo chipotle sauce from the can, 1 tsp smoked paprika, a pinch of salt, fresh pepper, & juice of 1-2 limes.
  9. 9Make your base (Kaizen low-carb / keto rice, regular rice, cauli rice, quinoa). For Kaizen rice, boil for 6 mins and strain.
  10. 10When rice is cooked, plate it up with your chicken, some of the pico, avocado, and drizzle it up with the sauce.
