Chicken - cooked & cubed (we used thighs)
Green Bell Pepper
Onion
Extra toppings - sour cream, cheese, avocado, hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoes
Cilantro Lime Rice
Honestly I "borrowed" the recipe from another blog (see end of this entry). We did a couple of things differently but either one will work just fine!
Cook in an instant pot on manual setting for 22 minutes:
2 cups of Basmati Rice with
2 1/2 cups of water (or 1 cup water, 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth)
Let the rice release steam naturally while you are getting other parts finished
Meanwhile preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice green bell pepper and onion and put in an iron skillet and roast in the oven with some olive oil and sea salt. If you cooked your chicken on Sunday to have throughout the week - add it to the vegetables when they have cooked - just long enough to heat the chicken. You could also splash some chicken broth in the skillet too.
Cilantro Lime Rice - continued
In the food processor - combine
2 cups of fresh spinach
1/2 bunch of cilantro,
juice of 2 limes, and about
2 teaspoons of minced garlic.
Cumin seasoning (about 1 tsp - I just sprinkled over the top)
Combine long enough that is smooth and will pour into your rice. You could add olive oil if needed - but I did not have to.
After the rice is finished and has let off some of the steam - combine rice with the sauce. Add some more cumin and stir together. Your rice will be green!
To make the bowl - we had rice on the bottom with the chicken & veggies on top then added the other toppings.
Easy - and will compete with Chipotle any day!!!
