Fajita Chicken Bowls

Rice bowls are a go-to in our house for weeknight dinners. One of my favorites iterations is ground chicken seasoned with fajita spices & veggies. Super yummy and satiating meal in 20 minutes! This recipe makes dinner for Greg and I, with leftovers for lunch the following day.

Fajita Chicken Bowls
serves 4

ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1 packet of fajita seasoning
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
1 package of mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 cup jasmine rice
toppings: avocado, mexican blend cheese, hot sauce, lime, etc

directions

{1}

Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions. I like to sub chicken or veggie broth instead of water to add more flavor.

{2}

In a large skillet, add a glug of olive oil and sauté the mushrooms and green peppers over medium-high heat until softened and a bit charred.

{3}

In a separate skillet, drizzle oil on the bottom of the pan to coat. Add the ground chicken and sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the meat. Mix together and break up while browning on all sides over medium-high heat.

{4}

Assemble the bowls - rice, chicken, veggies and top with whatever you like. We like to add cheese & avocado. Sour cream, hot sauce & lime are also excellent! Enjoy! 

Currently Obsessed

I have been a fan of Mrs. Meyer's hand soap for years, thanks to their clean ingredients, cruelty-free formula and sustainability. 

I typically cycle through the scents each season - in the Fall I lean into Acorn Spice & Apple Cider, and in the Winter Snowdrop is my go-to. Rain Drop is a year-round staple.

I recently discovered the Birchwood scent while perusing Target and LOVE it - light, woodsy, masculine, similar to cologne. Also like that the fragrance lingers long after hand-washing.
