How to Make Low-Calorie Chicken Burrito Bowl
- In a shallow bowl, whisk lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat fully. Refrigerate 15–20 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, then chicken. Cook 5–6 minutes per side until internal temp reaches 165°F and edges are golden.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let rest 5 minutes to reabsorb juices, then slice into strips or bite-sized pieces against the grain.
- While chicken rests, chop romaine, tomatoes, and red onion. Drain and rinse black beans; pat them dry. Scoop fresh corn kernels or thaw frozen.
- In the same skillet, add beans and corn over medium heat. Stir gently for 2–3 minutes until warm and slightly charred.
- Divide lettuce among bowls. Top with beans, corn, tomatoes, onion, and sliced chicken in neat rows for a colorful display.
- Garnish each bowl with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, salsa, and a sprinkle of low-fat cheese for creamy, vibrant bites.
