Description
A nutritious and flavorful Mexican-inspired bowl featuring seasoned chicken tenderloins, colorful peppers, onions, black beans, corn, and rice, topped with optional fresh garnishes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast tenderloins
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 poblano pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 Tbsp fajita seasoning, divided
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa, lime wedges
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Season the chicken, onions, and peppers with half of the fajita seasoning.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken, peppers, and onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the drained corn and black beans. Stir in the remaining fajita seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until the beans and corn are heated through, about 4 minutes.
- To build your bowl, start with a base of cooked rice. Top with the chicken, onions, peppers, corn, and black beans. Add your preferred optional toppings like cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa, or a squeeze of fresh lime.
Notes
- Use brown rice for added fiber and nutrition.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Customize toppings to fit dietary preferences.
