Ingredients for Santa Fe Chicken
Here’s what you’ll need to create these Santa Fe chicken and rice meal prep bowls:
– Chicken Breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are recommended for their quick cooking time, although boneless, skinless chicken thighs or bone-in chicken breasts or thighs are viable alternatives if preferred. Adjust cooking time for bone-in cuts.
– Spices: A dash of ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt is used to season the chicken, infusing it with Tex-Mex flavor.
– Cheese: These bowls feature orange cheddar cheese, but you can opt for any melty cheese of your choice, such as Monterey Jack or Havarti.
– Rice: White rice, a source of complex carbohydrates, bulks up the meal. While the recipe suggests white rice, brown rice is also an option, though it may require additional cooking time.
– Black Beans: A can of black beans contributes fiber and protein to the dish.
