Description

One-Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls are a quick, flavorful, and satisfying meal made with tender chicken, rice, beans, corn, and a blend of spices—all cooked in a single pot. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep, they deliver the deliciousness of a burrito in a convenient bowl format.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup long grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade equivalent)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (optional)
  • Optional toppings: diced avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 4–5 minutes.
  2. Add the rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, taco seasoning, and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  5. Top with shredded cheese if using and cover again briefly to let it melt.
  6. Serve with desired toppings like avocado, cilantro, lime, or sour cream.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for an even faster version.
  • Swap in brown rice but increase the liquid and cooking time accordingly.
  • This dish keeps well for up to 4 days in the fridge and is great for meal prep.
