This week has been hectic, but once I had picked up everything for these chicken fajita bowls, I needed to make the time to prep this for my family. They had been waiting all week for quick and easy chicken fajita bowls. And once they tried them, I was so glad I took the time to make this dish!
Preparation Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
500 grams chicken breasts- cut horizontally
2 cups Mexican rice (recipe here)
1 red pepper/ 1 green pepper- sliced
1 onion- sliced
300 grams canned/ boiled black beans- drained
300 grams canned corn - drained
1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
1 tablespoon oil
Salt and pepper- to taste
Optional: salsa, sour cream, guacamole, limes, cheese, etc
Instructions
Season the chicken with half of the fajita seasoning and salt. Marinate for 30 minutes, but you can skip marination time if you are low on time.
Cook the chicken in a pan for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Keep the chicken warm until ready to slice and serve.
In the same skillet, saute the peppers and onions with 1/2 teaspoon fajita seasoning until tender. Remove them from the pan and set them aside, like the chicken.
Do the same with the corn, then with the beans. Set them aside in separate bowls.
Assemble the rice bowls. Fill the bowls with rice, then top with sliced chicken, corn, beans, salsa, limes, guacamole and sour cream.
