We had a glorious weekend weather wise here in Cincinnati.  I couldn’t soak in enough of the sunshine and 50° temperatures. I leashed up the dogs and we went for a walk enjoying some well deserved Vitamin D.

One of my favorite places to grab lunch is Chipotle, the chicken bowl being my favorite.  It was time to come up with my own recipe to enjoy at home, because lets face it when you make it yourself it is WAY better.  This is a simple recipe that can be made ahead and warmed up later, which to me makes it the best kind of recipe.  Especially when I seem to make a lot of containers for later meals with the men in my life.  I like to top with some cubed avocado and serve with some gluten-free organic tortilla chips.

What is your favorite thing to order at Chipotle?

  1. This has become one of my new favorite recipes. We love Mexican, but I recently gave up dairy. I was surprised when my husband didn’t even ask for cheese. You don’t need it. Thanks for sharing!

  2. This recipe looks delicious! Any suggestions on how it could be make in a crock pot rather than a dutch oven?

    1. Hey Kate, without rewriting the recipe I would suggest you follow the recipe through step 2 {cooking vegetable in a skillet} Then transfer the veggies to your crockpot adding chicken chicken, chicken stock, chili powder, salt, and cumin cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Add rice, corn and cook 45 min-1 hour. Follow the recipe from there and you should end up with the same results.

      1. Yes that helps! Thank you! Is it still possible to make in a normal pot over the stove if I currently don’t have a Dutch oven where I’m staying?

      2. Hi Brooke, Yes, a large pot would work fine as well. You just want to make sure that you are using a pot that offers enough room for all of your ingredients.

    1. Hi Gaby, I am slowly going through and adding nutritional labels to all my recipes. I just added the label, hope that helps and thanks for stopping by!
