Kid Friendly Chicken Burrito Bowls
My favorite part about these burrito bowls is that all the toppings can be placed on the table in separate bowls and everyone can assemble their plate however their little heart desires!
For this recipe all you need is some good quality pasture raised chicken breasts and then whatever veggies/toppings your family likes. We made our bowls with sautéd bell peppers, pan roasted potatoes, pinto beans, avocado and cooked millet (rice would be a great substitute). This meal is such an easy and fun family dinner. If you’re in a dinner rut this is a great one to turn to! Jam packed with plenty of protein, fat and fiber to keep you and your kiddos blood sugar stable. I love a good meal that checks all of those important boxes.
I hope you all love this meal as much as we do. Have fun making this meal your own with your favorite burrito toppings. We served ours with our favorite seed oil free (YAY!!) tortilla chips (find them here).
