🔪 How to Make Chipotle Burrito Bowl
Cook the chicken first. Coat the chicken in oil and sprinkle on your favorite seasonings. I used garlic, salt, pepper, and a little cumin for extra flavor.
Bake it at 400°F until fully cooked. Mine took about 40 minutes—those BJs chicken breasts are big! Once cooked, slice into bite-sized pieces.
Make the rice. I use a rice cooker because it’s quick and easy, but stovetop works too. I like to add a squeeze of lime juice to the water for a fresh pop of flavor.
Build your bowl. Pick the toppings you love and skip the rest. That’s the fun part! I like mine with everything. Serenity skips the beans, and Willow makes hers vegetarian. You can make it work for anyone in the family.

⭐ Tips for the Best Chicken Burrito Bowls⭐
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time on busy nights.
- Swap the rice for quinoa or greens if you want it lighter.

📖 Fun Variations to Try

Directions
- Start with the chicken. Rub chicken with oil and season. I seasoned mine with garlic, salt, pepper and a dash of cumin.
- Bake chicken in a 400 degree oven until done. Mine took 40 minutes but the breasts from BJs were huge. Once chicken is done, cut into bite sized pieces.
- Prepare rice. I love my rice cooker and always use it. Prepare your rice using a rice cooker or stove top. Add the juice of a lime into the rice as it cooks.
