Chicken Fajita Rice Bowl Food

CHICKEN FAJITA BOWL

Steps:

• Grease a grill pan with cooking spray. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in the prepared pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink, about 7 minutes.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper slices; saute until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Mix in diced tomatoes and cooked chicken. Cook until liquid is mostly evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Microwave cauliflower rice following package instructions for 5 minutes. Let stand for 1 minute.
• Carefully open the package of cauliflower rice and divide between 2 bowls. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly between the bowls. Top with Cheddar cheese, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.

CHICKEN FAJITA RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Lightly spray a skillet with non-stick spray. Saute the bell pepper and onion on medium-high heat; cook for 4-5 minutes, or until tender.
• Mix spices for chicken in a small bowl (chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper). Sprinkle evenly over chicken slices, and toss to coat. Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in skillet on medium heat. When oil is very hot, add chicken. Cook chicken 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until done and nicely browned. Transfer chicken to a plate. Set aside.
• Prepare pico de gallo (if making homemade or NOT using salsa). I made some very easily by chopping tomatoes, brown onion, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and seasoned with salt and pepper. Looking to save a little time? Simply use store-bought chunky salsa.
• Assemble bowls like this: 1) Divide brown rice between two bowls. 2) Top each with half the bell pepper and onions, and 1/2 of the avocado chunks. 3) Top each bowl with half the chicken and 1 teaspoon chopped green chiles. 4) Garnish each bowl with pico de gallo (or salsa), a couple lime wedges, and a couple sprigs fresh cilantro.

CHICKEN FAJITA RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large bowl combine the chicken breast halves, lime juice, cilantro, minced chipotle peppers.
• In a small measuring cup or bowl, combine the fajita seasoning and the olive oil. Pour over top of the chicken and toss everything to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. Note: The chicken and marinade can be placed in a Ziploc bag. Massage chicken to coat evenly.
• In the meantime: slice the peppers and onions. Thaw the corn if frozen and rinse beans.
• About 30 minutes before you're ready to cook, remove the chicken breast from the refrigerator, allowing to come to room temperature.
• In a deep skillet (preferably cast iron) heat up two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of olive oil over medium to medium high, adjusting the heat so as not to burn chicken. Once the pan is hot, work in batches by adding two chicken breast halves in the pan at a time. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Remove from heat and place the cooked breasts on a nearby platter and continue with the remaining chicken.
• Carefully wipe out any charred bits out of your pan before adding in the corn. Let the kernels cook over medium heat until they are deep golden and start to pop. Remove those back a platter and set off to the side.
• Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. Once hot add in the peppers and cook just until tender crisp. Remove and repeat with the olive oil and the sliced onions. Remove the onions to the same platter as the peppers and turn off the stove.
• Place the chicken on a large cutting board. Slice and chop the chicken into bite-size pieces. Place the chicken back into the pan to keep warm on low but if you're using a cast iron skillet it will stay nice and warm for a while so you can just leave the heat off.
• In a medium bowl toss the brown rice with minced cilantro, salt and the juice of half a lime. Spoon the brown rice into bowls and top with peppers, onions, corn, black beans, chopped chicken and any optional toppings desired.

CHICKEN FAJITA AND CILANTRO-LIME CAULIFLOWER RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• Combine 1/8 cup chopped cilantro, orange juice, 1/8 cup olive oil, juice of 1/2 lime, chipotle chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze the bag several times to combine the ingredients.
• Cut chicken into 1-inch slices, cutting across the chicken breast, and add to the marinade. Carefully squeeze out most of the air, seal the bag, and move chicken pieces around in the marinade to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine red bell pepper slices, green bell pepper slices, and onion pieces in a large bowl. Add remaining 1/8 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all the vegetable pieces are coated in oil and seasonings.
• Line a 12 x 18-inch sheet pan with foil or parchment paper and spread chicken slices and vegetables out on the pan in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is done and the vegetables are lightly charred, about 25 minutes.
• Near the end of the baking time, prepare the cauliflower rice. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and water. Cook, stirring frequently, until cauliflower is softened, about 5 minutes. Drain cauliflower rice and place in a serving bowl. Stir in melted ghee, reserved 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble bowls by making a layer of cilantro-lime cauliflower rice, and a layer of fajita chicken and vegetables. Top with tomato salsa and guacamole.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN FAJITA BOWLS

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package directions. Preheat the broiler to high with the rack in the highest position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Put the chili powder, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and oil in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Add the chicken, peppers and onions to the bowl and toss to coat well. Scatter the chicken and vegetables in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and broil until the vegetables are starting to char and soften and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the black beans and 2 tablespoons lime juice in a small bowl. Once the chicken and vegetables are out of the oven, add the beans to the baking sheet and toss to combine. (The heat from the fajitas will warm the beans.)
• Meanwhile, make the sour cream drizzle: Put the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice, sour cream and cilantro in the bowl of a mini food processor and pulse until mostly smooth and green. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the rice between 4 bowls and top with the fajita mixture. Drizzle with the sour cream mixture before serving.

FAJITA CHICKEN AND RICE DINNER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a shallow dish or medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, agave, 1 teaspoon of salt, the oregano, chili powder, and 2 teaspoons of cumin. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Add the onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until starting to soften.
• Add the rice and chicken stock. Season with the remaining teaspoon of cumin, the pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil, then return the chicken thighs to the pot.
• Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Garnish with a squeeze of lime juice and cilantro.
