Chipotle Chicken Bowls with Smoky Southwest Dressing
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Cut chicken into cubes and marinate with spices and 1 Tbsp of olive oil for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the fridge.
- 2Cook jasmine rice according to package directions, then let cool for 5-10 minutes and mix with cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 3Finely chop red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and roma tomato. Drain and rinse black beans and corn. Combine all chopped veggies, black beans, corn, cilantro, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the black bean and corn salsa.
- 4Combine plain Greek yogurt, olive oil mayo, lime juice, garlic clove, honey, cilantro, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a blender and blend until smooth to create the Southwest dressing.
- 5Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Add the remaining olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, undisturbed. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165℉ (75°C).
- 6Assemble the bowls with romaine lettuce, cilantro lime rice, black bean and corn salsa, cooked chicken, and avocado slices, then drizzle with the Southwest dressing and a squeeze of fresh lime.
