We are definitely a bowl family. Anything with a ton of fun ingredients that can be mixed together is a winner for us. This chili lime chicken burrito bowl recipe is no exception. Customize them with your favorite toppings for a quick supper that is sure to please.
What Cut Of Chicken Should I Use?
This is one hundred percent up to you. I have tried this recipe with breasts, thighs, and tenders. Chicken breasts work fine for this recipe, but I find that they are the hardest to fully infuse with the flavor we are going for here because they are so big. If you do use breasts, I would recommend cutting them into strips before cooking. Boneless thighs are another good option. The only downside is that the can sometimes be fatty or gristly and require trimming. My favorite option is chicken tenderloins. You can easily coat them with your seasoning and they are the perfect size, no trimming required.

Directions For This Chili Lime Chicken Burrito Bowl Recipe
In a large bag, combine chicken, honey, olive oil, and all seasonings. Shake until fully coated and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and chop your peppers. Dump out your seasoned chicken on to a greased or parchment lined pan. Spread the chicken out and place pepper slices anywhere on the pan that is not covered with chicken.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. While your chicken is cooking, prepare your rice with whatever method you prefer.
When chicken is done, slice and serve over the rice. Some of the favorite toppings (not all together though!) in our house are: lime wedges, sour cream, pickled onions, salsa Verde, shredded cheese, pickled onions, and pickled jalapenos.
How To Store Leftovers
I like to store the chicken and peppers in one airtight container and the rice in another. It will last in the fridge for at least four days.
