I love easy one pot meals, and this One Pan Chicken Burrito Bowl recipe is a new favorite for our family.  I can have everything I love in my favorite burrito bowl, cooked all in one pot so there is little cleanup.  It’s delicious, simple and of course full of great flavor.

A chicken burrito bowl is always a favorite meal at our local restaurants, but making them at home seemed too daunting.  Instead of cooking all of the ingredients separately, I love making this semi-homemade one pot chicken burrito bowl by using some canned beans and tomatoes alongside my freshly cooked chicken, onions and rice.  Cooking everything for this chicken burrito bowl in one pot is a perfect way to save time and especially cleanup.

This recipe includes black beans which are my favorite in this dish, but you can easily substitute in pinto beans if you prefer.  Top this delicious one pan chicken burrito bowl with some sour cream, fresh guacamole, diced green onions and of course a sprinkle of cheese.  Everyone in the family will love this simple one pot dish, and of course they will enjoy personalizing them with their favorite toppings.
