These days, pretty much every meal can be made into a bowl. But we're not complaining; we LOVE bowls at Sims Home Kitchen! Not only is it fun to get in on the latest dining obsession, but it's a good way to blend all of your favorite flavors together in one easy-to-eat location. Not to mention, it helps with portion control!

Our black bean and chicken bowl get back to basics, but still packs a lot of taste. Follow our simple recipe and see for yourself!

How to Make Our Healthy Naked Chicken Burrito Bowl

1. Take 1 cup of white rice and rinse it through. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 cups of water, then add the rice. Boil the water, and then cook for 12-15 minutes, making sure to cover the pan with a lid.

2. While the rice is cooking, add some oil to a pan and start to heat it. Add 1-2 chopped chicken fillets to the pan, seasoning with your favorite herbs (we like cumin, curry powder, paprika, and salt). Pan fry the chicken for 10 minutes or until it is cooked through.

3. Once the rice is done, add it to a bowl, along with the chicken, ½ can of black beans, a chopped avocado, chopped tomatoes, and ½ cup of sweetcorn. You are free to add some of your other favorite Southwestern-inspired vegetables as well.

4. Split up between 2-3 servings, and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Many official dietary guidelines around the world recommend no more than 3 cups of legumes like black beans per week, so you might want to use this dish as a great way to practice your portions. We recommend a ½ cup of beans or no more than 1 cup of this dish per meal!
