Chicken Burrito Bowls
Cook time: 30 minutes
Cumin-lime marinated rotisserie chicken over cilantro rice with roasted corn, pico de gallo, and Greek yogurt as sour cream—a fresh, high-protein meal prep staple.
NOTES: Greek yogurt works perfectly as a sour cream substitute and adds extra protein. Store salsa separately if you prefer to add it fresh each day.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 Kirkland rotisserie chickens, breast meat pulled and shredded (~1.8 kg / 4 lb meat)
- 2 tsp (8 g) ground cumin
- 1 tsp (4 g) smoked paprika
- 1 tsp (4 g) garlic powder
- Juice of 2 limes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cilantro Rice
- 750 g (3¾ cups) jasmine rice, dry
- 1.4 L (6 cups) water or chicken broth
- 1 tsp (6 g) salt
- Juice of 2 limes
- Zest of 1 lime
- 30 g (1 cup loosely packed) fresh cilantro, chopped
Roasted Corn
- 800 g (about 5 cups) frozen corn
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- ½ tsp (2 g) salt
To Serve
- 500 g (2 cups) non-fat Greek yogurt
- 500 g (2 cups) fresh salsa or pico de gallo
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Spread frozen corn on a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss with olive oil and salt, and roast 15–18 min until lightly charred. Set aside.
- Cook rice: combine rice, broth, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and cook 15 min. Remove from heat, let steam 5 min, then fluff with a fork. Stir in lime juice, lime zest, and cilantro while still warm.
- While rice cooks, pull and shred breast meat from both rotisserie chickens. Toss with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Warm in a skillet over medium heat 3–4 min if desired, or use cold directly from the bird.
- Portion rice evenly across 10 containers (~150 g cooked per container). Top each with shredded chicken (~180 g), roasted corn (~80 g), and a dollop of Greek yogurt (~50 g).
- Store salsa separately in small containers or add 50 g per portion at the time of packing. Refrigerate up to 5 days.
