Chicken Taco Poblano Rice Bowls

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds organic boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut 1/2 inch cubes (from 3 small)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 medium red onion (peeled and diced)
• 1/4 cup cilantro (minced plus more for garnish)
• 1 poblano pepper (seeded and diced)
• 1 roma tomato (cored and diced)
• 1 lime (halved)
• taco seasoning (see below)
• kosher salt
• 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels
• 3 cups cooked brown rice (heated (use cauliflower rice for low-carb))
• 1/4 cup cheddar-jack cheese
• 1/4 cup 2% sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano

Method

1. Dice the chicken into small pieces. Combine taco seasoning in a small bowl and set aside.
2. To make the pico de gallo, set 3 tablespoons of the diced onion aside and place it in a bowl with tomato, cilantro, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
3. Add oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook until it starts to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Add the remaining onion, poblano pepper and taco seasoning to the skillet and cook until it softens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and corn. Cook 1 to 2 minutes then remove from heat.
5. Divide rice in 4 bowls, top with chicken, cheese, pico de gallo and optional sour cream.
