Make the cilantro lime rice. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add the rice and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the rice turns from transparent to white in color.
Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Pour in the broth and the salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, make the chicken. Add the chicken thighs to a large ziptop bag or bowl with olive oil, chili powder, kosher salt, ancho chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, Mexican oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and lime juice. Massage the seasonings into the chicken until well-coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Transfer to a cutting board and dice into small pieces.
Remove the rice from the heat and fluff with a fork. Gently stir in the cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice. Taste and season with more salt if necessary.
Assemble the burrito bowls with chicken, cilantro lime rice, shredded lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and your favorite salsa.
Notes
Make it your own. Feel free to add your favorite other toppings like black beans, pinto beans, fajita veggies, diced avocados, chopped red onion, or poblano cream sauce.
Marinate the chicken. The chicken is full of flavor as is, but feel free to marinate the chicken for 2 hours to pack extra flavor or to prep ahead of time.
Nutritional data does not include toppings, only the chicken and rice.
