I have been catching up on WGN's Salem and it's soooo addicting.  Have you watched it at all? It's such a twisted version of the time period of when the Salem witch trials were going.  Even more twisted than real history.  Oh man, but it's sooooo addicting. Between Salem and American Horror Story, I am a freaking couch potato.  Of course, that means I've been making easy foods. 

This chicken burrito bowl is so easy and it's super delicious! My daughter thinks it is bomb. com and loves it!

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite sized pieces
• 3 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of diced yellow onion
• 1 cup of uncooked extra-long grain rice
• 1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
• 1 teaspoon of cumin
• 2 1/2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups of colby jack, monterey jack or cheddar cheese
• kosher salt and pepper
• freshly diced tomatoes
• diced green onions
• sour cream – optional as a garnish
• guacamole – optional as a garnish

Directions:

Sauté onions in 2 tablespoon of olive oil until they start to soften.

Season diced chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. 

 Add chicken to pan and cook over medium high heat until chicken has started to brown.

Move chicken to one side of pan, in the other side of the pan add an additional tablespoon of olive oil and sauté uncooked rice for about 2 minutes or just until grains start to turn golden brown. 

Stir in black beans, canned tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic powder, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to low. 

 Cook about 20 minutes or until rice is tender. 

Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. 

Sprinkle with cheese, add lid back on and let set for 2-3 off heat to melt cheese. 

Garnish with fresh tomatoes, green onions, sour cream and guacamole.
