Ingredients
  

For the Chipotle Chicken
  • 2 medium chicken breasts approximately 1-1 ½ pounds
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • plenty of salt and pepper to taste
For the Burrito Bowls
  • 24 ounces cauliflower rice fresh or frozen
  • juice of one half of one lime approximately 1 tablespoon
  • 1 head romaine lettuce thinly sliced
  • pico de gallo optional, for topping
  • lime wedges optional, for garnish
For the Guacamole
  • 2 large avocados peeled, seeded, mashed
  • ½ teaspoon salt divided
  • juice of one half of one lime approximately 1 tablespoon

Method
 

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper. Combine the chipotle chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder in a small bowl, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes without moving it until the bottom is well-browned or blackened.
  3. Flip the chicken, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Prepare frozen cauliflower rice according to the package directions. If using fresh cauliflower rice, place it in a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of water, cover, and cook over medium heat until tender.
  5. Drain any excess liquid from the cauliflower rice, then toss it with approximately 1 tablespoon of lime juice and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  6. Stir together the mashed avocado, approximately 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a small bowl.
  7. Divide the cauliflower rice among four serving bowls. Top with the chicken, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and optional pico de gallo. Garnish with lime wedges if desired and serve the burrito bowls warm.

Notes

  • You can cook the cauliflower in the same skillet you used for the chicken! The rice will pick up a little of the flavors from the chicken and spice mixture. You may need to add a little water first and scrape up any browned bits of chicken that may be stuck to the bottom of the pan, but then you’re good to go!
  • Don’t skip the “resting” step after you’ve cooked the chicken! I like to take it out of the skillet when it’s around 160° Fahrenheit internally. It usually reaches the food-safe 165°F point while it rests.
