Ingredients

Grilled Chili Lime Marinated Chicken:
1.5 pounds Foster Farms Free Range Simply Raised Chicken Breast Fillets
3 limes, juiced
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Ingredients to Make the Chicken Bowls:
Half head of lettuce, chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 cup canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed, then heated
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
4 tablespoons sour cream
Fresh cilantro leaves, as a garnish
Freshly squeezed lime juice

Directions

1. Combine the chicken breasts and marinade ingredients in a large sealed bag or bowl. Toss to evenly coat. Marinated in the fridge for 8 hours (it’s best to prep in the morning so you can grill the chicken in the evening). Note: to save time you can marinate for 1 to 2 hours, but the flavor won’t infuse as well.

2. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let sit at room temp for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a gas or wood-fire grill to 400° F (medium-high).

3. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and discard the leftover marinade. Grill for 8 minutes, or until the bottoms are slightly seared.

4. Flip the chicken breasts and grill for 7 minutes more, or to an internal temp of 165° F.

5. Remove the chicken and let sit at room temp for 5 minutes, then cut into small squares.

6. To assemble the chicken bowls: Create a bed of lettuce in a bowl, then top with diced grilled chicken breasts and desired amount of toppings.
