Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • Your favorite burrito bowl toppings (e.g., shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  5. While the chicken bakes, cook the rice according to package directions.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the rinsed and drained black beans, corn, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then dice or shred it.
  8. Assemble your burrito bowls: Start with a base of cooked rice, then add the seasoned chicken, bean and corn salsa, and your desired toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken breasts for thighs if preferred, adjusting cook time as needed.
  • Customize your bowl with any of your favorite burrito fillings.
