2-Next, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked; set it aside once done. While thatβs happening, cook the white rice according to package instructions to get a fluffy base for your bowls.
3-Prepare the salsa by mixing cilantro, tomato, onion, white vinegar, lime juice, and kosher salt in a bowl for a fresh, zesty topping. Now, divide the romaine lettuce, corn, black beans, cooked rice, and chicken among your serving bowls to build the layers.
4-Top each bowl with the homemade salsa, sliced avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese before serving. This step-by-step approach makes your easy chicken burrito bowl recipe a breeze, perfect for busy evenings.
