CHIPOTLE CHICKEN & RICE BOWL
  1. Add 2 lbs diced chicken brst to a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil & season with 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tbsp paprika, ½ tbsp onion powder, a few pinches of salt + ground pepper. To tenderize & break down the chicken fibers, I added ½ teaspoon baking soda. Finally, top with 1.5 tbsp plain yogurt, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp of the sauce from a can of adobo chipotle peppers and mix well. Let this sit for 30ish mins before you make it, but if you want to make it right away, go ahead!

  2. When you’re ready to eat, bring a pan to medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil, add chicken, and cook it through on medium heat, stirring every few mins so it cooks on all sides. This takes about 10-12 mins depending on thickness.

    .

  3. Make a simple pico/guac by thinly dicing half a large red onion, a small handful of cherry tomatoes, & a large handful of fresh cilantro. Add to a bowl, sprinkle with salt, ground pepper, and the juice of 1 large lime. Mix well, then let it sit for about 10 mins, stirring it a couple of times.

    .

  4. Make the chipotle crema sauce by mixing 3 tbsp sour cream, 1.5 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp adobo chipotle sauce from the can, 1 tsp smoked paprika, a pinch of salt, fresh pepper, & juice of 1-2 limes. I like to add more lime to make the sauce lighter, but up to you.

    .

  5. Finally, make your base. To keep this lowcarb, I used my Kaizen lowcarb / keto rice (just 6 net carbs + 20g protein per serving), but you can use rice, cauli rice, quinoa, anything you prefer. I boiled my Kaizen rice for 6 mins and strained it.

  6. When rice is cooked, plate it up with your chicken, some of the pico, avocado, and drizzle it up with the sauce.
