How to Make Chipotle Style Chicken Burrito Bowls

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Top with your favorite Chipotle-style sauce (recipe suggestions provided below) or store-bought version.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
