Meal Prep Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowls

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: turkey breast

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while thighs are more affordable.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: creme fraiche

Greek yogurt reduces calories while adding creaminess.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: guacamole

Mashed peas provide creaminess at a lower cost.

Whisk the apple cider vinegar, dried spices, minced garlic, fresh cilantro, and 1/2 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large bowl or container.

Add the cubed chicken and coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for a few minutes while you prep the other ingredients.

When ready to cook, add the remaining avocado oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (along with any leftover marinade) and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, lightly 'massage' the kale with the olive oil and salt.

Divide it into 4 bowls along with the tomatoes, corn, black beans, cooked rice, and cilantro.

Blend the avocado lime sauce ingredients in a blender with a small cup attachment.

Let the chicken rest and cool for a few minutes after it’s done cooking.

Add the chicken to bowls and drizzle with the sauce (or keep separate until ready to enjoy)!
