How to Make the Rice:

  • In a small sauce pan, combine the rice and water.
  • Cover and bring to a low boil over medium-high heat, then lower the temperature to low and simmer until all the water has been absorbed.

  • Mix well, and cover while you work on the rest of the recipe.

How to Make the Chicken:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
  • Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the corn and cook 10 more minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

How to Assemble the Chicken Burrito Bowls:

  • To 4 bowls (or meal prep containers) add 1/4 of the rice, 1/4 of the chicken and corn, 1/4 of the beans, 1/4 of the pico de Gallo, and 1/4 of the lettuce.
  • Top each bowl with 1/8 cup of cheese and serve with desired additional toppings.
