Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the chicken breasts with olive oil, half of the salt, and black pepper.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into 1/2-inch thick strips.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the white rice according to the package instructions.
- Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and diced zucchini. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add the cooked corn and black beans to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with the remaining salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken with the BBQ sauce until the chicken is well-coated.
- Divide the cooked rice evenly among the serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with a generous portion of the sautéed vegetables and bean mixture.
- Add a portion of the BBQ chicken slices on top.
- Sprinkle each bowl with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Finish by placing a few slices of avocado on each bowl.
- Optionally, you can garnish with chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky BBQ chicken burrito bowl!
Tips:
- For extra smoky flavor, grill the chicken breasts instead of pan-frying them.
- Feel free to substitute brown rice for white rice if you prefer a healthier option.
- To save time, use canned black beans and sweet corn.
- Add a bit of lime juice or chopped cilantro for additional freshness.
- For a spicier kick, include a diced jalapeño or a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Assemble the bowls just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and vibrant.
