Bowling for Chicken
We love the idea of big bowls of food for one. But do they have to be fast-food-fatty and high in calories? Noooooooo! Read on for our latest FANTASTIC recipe… the Need-a-Fajita Chicken Bowl!
Recipe Source: Hungry Girl
Ingredients
2/3 cup cooked brown rice (prepared without added fat)
1 tbsp. salsa verde (a.k.a. green salsa)
1/2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Squirt of lime juice
3 1/2 oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into small strips
1/2 cup chopped red & green bell peppers
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp. dry fajita seasoning mix
1/4 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. (regular) salsa
Instructions
To make the cilantro sauce, combine salsa verde, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, combine chicken, peppers, and onion, and sprinkle evenly with fajita seasoning. Add 1 tbsp. water and mix well.
Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add chicken-veggie mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Remove from heat, stir in black beans, and set aside.
Place rice in a microwave-safe bowl. If needed, nuke until hot. Top with chicken-veggie-bean mixture and cheese. If you like, nuke briefly to melt cheese. Finish it off with salsa and cilantro sauce. Enjoy!
