Chipotle Chicken Fajita Rice Bowls

I started out with the intention of making fajitas with rice on the side, but when I went to the cabinet to get the wraps, I realized we were out.  So, I decided to just spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture right over the rice and enjoy it that way!  Mm!  So good!



Chipotle Chicken Fajita Rice Bowls 
    Serves 8

Ingredients: 
  • 6 tsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 lb. chicken breast, boneless/skinless, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 vidalia onion, diced 
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, diced
  • 2 tsp. adobo sauce
  • 1 cup frozen fire roasted corn
  • 1/2 cup water
  • cooked brown rice 
To prepare: 
  • In a large skillet, add chicken, onion and bell peppers to hot oil over medium heat.  
  • Cook until chicken is no longer pink.  
  • Stir in salsa, chipotles and corn and allow to cook until corn is thawed.  
  • Stir in water.  Bring to boil. 
  • Cover and reduce heat. 
  • Simmer for 5 minutes.  
  • Serve over cooked rice.  
Notes: 
  • If desired, top with fat free shredded cheese or fat free sour cream.  Jalapenos would be delicious, too!  
  • This would be great served over leftover quinoa or atop a bed of lettuce.  

I'm bringing this recipe to the following blog carnivals and linky parties:
