To create your delicious Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowls, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Start by cutting the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated with the spices.
3. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the seasoned chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7–10 minutes.
4. Prepare Rice/Quinoa: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
5. Gather Veggies: In a separate bowl, combine black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes.
6. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of brown rice or quinoa. Top with the cooked chicken and veggie mixture.
7. Add Toppings: Finish each bowl with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and shredded cheese if desired.
8. Serve with Lime: Serve with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick.
9. Garnish: Add extra cilantro on top for a pop of freshness and color.

These steps guide you toward creating Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowls that will become a staple in your household.
