How to Make Chicken Fajita Bowls

  1. Marinate the Chicken & Veggies
    Whisk together the marinade. Pour half over chicken and half over the veggies. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 6).
  2. Cook the Rice
    Sauté onion and rice in a little oil until golden. Add garlic, spices, broth, and beans. Simmer until tender. Finish with fresh lime juice and cilantro.
  3. Cook the Chicken
    Heat oil in a skillet and cook chicken until browned and cooked through. Rest, then slice.
  4. Sauté the Veggies
    Drain off excess marinade, then cook the peppers, onion, and corn until tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. Assemble Your Bowls
    Layer rice, veggies, and sliced chicken into bowls. Drizzle generously with chipotle lime crema and garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges.
