Ingredients You'll Need

Ok, I know at first glance, the list of ingredients seems LONG. Don't worry. The bulk of the ingredients are spices you'll need for the chicken marinade that you likely already have on your spice rack, and the remaining ingredients can be found easily on a budget at your local grocer.

For The Chicken Marinade

• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Chipotle Chile in Adobo Sauce
• Garlic Cloves
• Ground Cumin
• Dried Oregano
• Kosher Salt
• Mexican Red Chili Powder
• Ground Cloves
• Chicken Breasts
• lime juice
• Oil

Other Burrito Bowl Ingredients

• Canned Black Beans
• Canned Corn
• Long Grain Rice
• Salsa
• Lettuce
• Cilantro
• Lime Juice

How To Make A Chipotle Burrito Bowl

1. Place the chicken breasts in a ziptop bag with the marinade ingredients and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Marinating can be done the night before to save time.
2. Thoroughly rinse your rice. Place it in the Instant Pot liner with water and cook under high pressure for 4 minutes. When the cooking time is complete, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then manually release all remaining pressure.
3. While the rice is cooking, remove the chicken from the marinade and place the breasts into your air fryer basket. Air Fry at 350F for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F at the thickest part. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes and then slice into bite-sized pieces.
4. Open the cans of corn and beans and rinse them well. Pour them on top of the rice in the Instant Pot liner and place the lid back on for 5 minutes. You will not be cooking the corn or beans (as they are precooked in the can). You will simply be using the residual heat to warm them.
5. Scoop a portion of the rice, black bean, and corn mixture into a bowl. Next, add sliced chicken, lettuce, and salsa. Finish your Copycat Chipotle Burrito Bowl with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Variations

• Skip the meat. Not a fan of meat, or just looking to stretch your budget a little further? Skip the chicken breast entirely and enjoy a veggie bowl.
• Switch up the protein. If you prefer steak or barbacoa in your Chipotle Burrito Bowls, check out my recipes for Chipotle Steak or Beef Barbacoa for a tasty alternative.
• Keep it keto. If you're looking to keep the carbs at bay, skip the portion of the recipe that has you cook the rice in the Instant Pot and simply serve the tasty chipotle chicken over a bed of lettuce and cauliflower rice and top with your favorite low carb approved garnishes.
• Load it up. If you're familiar with the fast food Mexican cuisine scene, you know that adding guacamole or queso to your dishes can come at an additional charge. The joys of making these bowls at home is that you can add as much of those extras you want at a fraction of the price that they cost in the restaurant.

What To Serve With Them

These Copycat Chipotle Burrito Bowls are a complete meal packed in one. They're not the type of main course that you will feel the need to serve a side dish with.

However, if you feel like you're still missing something, here are a few other things that would pair nicely with your next bowl:

• Sour Cream
• Queso
• Guacamole
• Chips

How Long Does It Last?

Chipotle Burrito Bowls make a large amount of food and reheat extremely well. In fact, I've used this recipe to pack my lunches for an entire work week before.

For the best bite, I suggest storing any leftovers in an airtight container and enjoying them within 4-5 days of preparing the dish.
