Deliciously Simple Chicken Burrito Bowl—All in One Pot

This recipe brings the essence of a Mexican burrito bowl straight to your table, with every component cooked harmoniously in one vessel. The result? No flavor left behind, and each spoonful delivers juicy chicken, fluffy rice, creamy beans, and fresh, crisp toppings.

Customize your bowl with your favorite salsa, cheese, avocado, or cilantro for endless variations without adding extra dishes to wash.

Prepping Ingredients for Optimum Flavor

Begin by efficiently prepping your onions, peppers, and tomatoes to save time and ensure uniform cooking. A tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes the job fast and guarantees perfectly sized veggies. This helps each bite capture the right balance of crunch, sweetness, and depth.

When it comes to chicken, consider using boneless, skinless thighs for juiciness, or breasts for a lighter bowl. For precise dicing, a stable base like Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 is highly recommended.

One Pot Cooking for Effortless Perfection

Using a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté your vegetables and chicken until browned for deep flavor development. Stir in your rice, salsa, broth, and beans, then simmer everything together so the rice soaks up the delicious spices and juices from the chicken.

Tools like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch ensure even heat distribution and easy cleanup—crucial for a one pot recipe. For shredding the chicken before serving, a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen gives you quick, uniform results (especially useful if you double the recipe for meal prep!).

Serving Suggestions for a Vibrant Burrito Bowl

Brighten your bowl with fresh toppings: diced avocado, chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime. For a lunch on the go, the Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl keeps your components crisp and separate until it’s time to dig in.

Pair this meal with crunchy tortilla chips and a chilled drink for a complete feast, or keep it light with an extra helping of greens.

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté diced onion and bell pepper until fragrant and softened, about 3–4 minutes.
2. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook until the chicken is mostly browned on all sides, about 3–5 minutes.
3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
4. Add rice, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), corn, and chicken broth. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan for the richest flavor.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
6. Turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. For tender, shredded chicken, use a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen in the pan before serving.
7. Drizzle with lime juice and toss gently. Serve with avocado, shredded cheese, cilantro, and your desired toppings. Prep individual grab-and-go portions using a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl if meal prepping.
