One Pan (Chicken) Burrito Bowls
Ding Ding! Hear that sound? It’s the quickly coming Back to School bell in our house. 3 weeks from now I will be walking my two back to school and that means schedules, homework and cramming in a homecooked meal in between sports activities and studying for tests. Because of this, I wanted to share with you a quick, hearty and above all tasty, meal that you can count on during the busy school year, or really, any time!
Have you ever had a Burrito Bowl from Moes or Chipotle? Delicious, right? Recreate your own with this One Pan Burrito Bowl recipe and add chicken, hamburger meat, or easily go vegetarian and enjoy beans only! And because it’s only one pan, we are talking QUICK and EASY clean up! If you like this recipe you can also check out more Chicken Breast Recipes here.
This Mexican Rice Skillet Meal takes approximately 30 minutes from cook to table making it a mom (and kid!) win for you.
PRO TIP: Every time I am working with raw chicken, I honestly get grossed out. We all know how sick it can make someone to be exposed to what it leaves behind. I love these Kitchen Gizmos– its a cutting board that takes away the worry! Standard cutting boards get scratches which become a breeding ground for bacteria. This cutting board is extremely scratch-resistant, preventing any bacteria from building up, has two sides, and a juice catcher so your defrosted chicken doesn’t leak to the counter.
*You can get rid of a whopping 54% of bacteria just by washing it with cold water.
*To sterilize up to 99.6% just pour boiling water over the board.
*Big working surface 15″x11.75″
*Heat-resistant of up to 300° Fahrenheit
*FDA Approved, BPA free, Dishwasher Safe
