tapioca starch

bell peppers (any color)

red onion

cilantro lime rice

black beans

lettuce

pico de gallo

chipotle aioli (click for recipe)

pound chicken

Pound the chicken to about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. I used two large breasts and cut them in half lengthwise and cooked just like that (and cut after cooking), but you can also cut into strips before seasoning.

combine seasoning

Combine all seasonings and tapioca in a bowl.

coat in seasonings

cook chicken

Add the olive oil to a skillet. Once hot, add the chicken and cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.

set aside

Set aside on a plate and cut into strips if you haven&#39;t already.

saute peppers

Add the sliced red onion and peppers to the same skillet and saute until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. Add more oil if you notice anything sticking.

add chicken back

Add the chicken back in and saute for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors blend.

assemble

Assemble your bowls with a base of rice/lettuce, then add in the chicken/pepper mix, black beans, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli.

add sauce

If you aren&#39;t a chipotle fan, you can use my cashew queso and cilantro lime crema instead.

serve

Also delicious with fresh guacamole and cilantro on top! Enjoy!

Love the flavor of this chicken. I've repeatedly come back to this recipe!

So delicious,   cooked the chicken in the air fryer and then combined it with the fajita veggies, I added mushrooms and used a sweet onion.  Made the cilantro lime crema with it.  Such great flavor!
