This recipe for One-Pan Chicken Burrito Bowls is one of my new favorites. It’s packed with flavor and so easy to make. I combined boneless, skinless chicken breast, Mexican rice, black beans, and tomatoes with Mexican spices. It’s so delicious and the best part is, everything cooks in just one pan, even the rice. This one-pot meal was a huge hit with my family and it’s faster than driving to get takeout! Initially, I was working on developing a one-pan Mexican casserole with rice. When I mentioned my idea to my husband, he said, “Sounds great, like everything you would put in a chicken burrito.” So I thought that was a much better name and described the dish even better!
We served ours in bowls, but this dish would be amazing wrapped in a tortilla. A quick way to make homemade chicken burritos!
