High Protein Taco Bowl
Directions
- 1Tenderize the chicken breasts using a meat tenderizer to break up connective tissue, help it cook evenly, and allow marinade to penetrate faster.
- 2Season both sides of the tenderized chicken generously with salt, pepper, and Kinder's Carne Asada seasoning.
- 3Rub the seasoning into the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
- 4Place the seasoned chicken into a Ziploc bag.
- 5Add a little olive oil to the bag with the chicken.
- 6Seal the bag and ensure the chicken is well-coated with the oil and seasoning.
- 7Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator overnight for at least 24 hours.
- 8Heat a pan to medium heat.
- 9Place the marinated chicken breasts into the hot pan to sear.
- 10Cook the chicken for 5 minutes per side.
- 11Remove the chicken from the heat, put a lid on the pan, and let it sit for 10 minutes to finish cooking and retain juiciness.
- 12Place the fully cooked chicken into a KitchenAid mixer to shred it.
- 13Transfer the shredded chicken back into the pan to absorb all the cooking sauce.
- 14Place the chicken on the bottom of a bowl.
- 15Add cheese as a topping.
- 16Add chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and bell peppers (similar to pico de gallo ingredients).
- 17Prepare the secret sauce by blending 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce with some of its sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and juice from 1 lime.
- 18Drizzle a generous amount of the prepared sauce over the bowl.
- 19Add fresh cilantro on top.
- 20Season with a little extra salt.
- 21Add a dash of pepper.
- 22Squeeze a lime wedge over the toppings.
- 23Serve and enjoy the taco bowl as is, with chips, in a taco, or in a burrito.
