Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts diced ½-inch, or chicken thighs
- 1 ounce taco seasoning 1 packet, about 3 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 ½ limes divided

- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

- 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- ½ medium avocado

Instructions
- For the avocado sauce, combine sour cream, juice of half a lime, avocado, and salt in a small blender or mini food processor. Blend until smooth, adding water to reach the desired consistency. Refrigerate for serving.
- Rinse the rice in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear and place it in a medium saucepan. Add the water, bay leaf and salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce to low and cover. Let cook 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the chicken, taco seasoning, and ½ tablespoon oil. Squeeze half of a lime over the chicken and toss well to coat.
- In a 10-inch skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no pink remains.
- Remove the lid from the rice, discard the bay leaf, and add cilantro. Squeeze half of a lime over the rice and stir to combine.
- To serve, divide the rice and chicken over four bowls. Add toppings as desired and drizzle with the sauce.
