CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BOWL

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm the oil. Add the chicken and season with taco seasoning and lemon pepper. Cook chicken until no longer pink and the insides reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Set aside for now.
• In a medium sized pot, pour in the rice, cold water, the olive oil, and salt. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is soft and fluffy.
• Once all the water has been soaked up by the rice, add in the lime juice, and cilantro. Let simmer for another minute and then remove from heat and set aside.
• To assemble the bowl, place a ¾ cup of rice on the bottom. On top of the rice, add black beans and the chicken.
• Top the bowl off with shredded lettuce, Pico de Gallo, guacamole, and mozzarella cheese.
• Repeat assembly three more times to make four bowls. Serve and enjoy!
