These chicken taco rice bowls feel like a treat but comes together with almost no effort. The yogurt and taco seasoning marinade does all the work on the chicken, the rice cooks in bone broth for a little extra protein, and then it is just a matter of piling everything into a bowl with corn, black beans, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips for crunch. It is filling, it is high protein, and everyone gets to top their own, which means even the picky eaters at my table stay happy.

Ingredients

Chicken Breast

Chicken thighs work just as well here if you prefer them, they stay a little juicier. About a pound and a half either way.

Basmati Rice

Any long grain rice works. Jasmine or regular long grain will cook up similarly, just check your liquid ratio.

Greek Yogurt

This is doing double duty as the marinade base and the topping, so grab a bit extra. Sour cream works as a topping swap if that is what you have.

Chicken Bone Broth

Regular chicken broth is fine if you do not have bone broth, you just lose a little of the protein boost. Cooking the rice in broth instead of water is what gives it flavor, so do not swap it back to plain water.

Storage

Store the components separately if you can, the rice and chicken keep well together in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days, but hold off on the chips, yogurt, and cilantro until you are ready to eat so nothing goes soggy. This one does not freeze especially well once assembled, but the cooked chicken on its own freezes fine for up to two months
