Instructions
Chicken Marinade
- Add all of the marinade ingredients to a food processor, blender or a large bowl to blend with an immersion blender. Purée until smooth.
- Add the chicken to a large air tight container or Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and mix until evenly combined.
- Transfer the chicken to the fridge and leave to marinate for at least 15 – 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
Cook the Chicken Thighs
- Grilled Chicken: preheat grill to high (approximately 350°F-400°F) and coat the grill with oil. Grill the chicken for 15 – 30 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Pan Seared Chicken: heat a frying pan or skillet on medium high with a tablespoon of oil. When hot add the chicken and all of the marinade. Cook for 5 minutes and then flip. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, add a splash of water if the marinade dries out in the pan. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and drizzle the remaining sauce from the pan over the chicken.
- Air Fryer Chicken: lightly coat the air fryer basket/tray with oil. Add the chicken and air fry on 400°F for 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Cut the cooked chicken into bite sized pieces.
Fajita Veggies
- Slice the bell pepper in half and remove the stem and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Slice the onion in half and remove the peel. Slice into thin strips.
- In a medium sized frying pan or skillet on medium heat add the oil, sliced peppers, sliced onions and taco seasoning.
- Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the veggies are tender.
Assemble the Burrito Bowls
- Add a layer of Cilantro Lime Rice to the bottom of a bowl. Top with your desired amount of each topping – cooked chicken, Corn Salsa, Black Beans, Salsa, Guacamole, fajita veggies, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and sour cream. Serve and enjoy!
