Ground Chicken Rice Bowl (Taco Rice Bowl)

Ajoke
This ground chicken rice bowl tastes better than any Mexican takeaway and is healthier too! This dish works by making the ground chicken taco meat first and then assembling it into a chicken rice bowl with the rice and whatever toppings you like. I will go into my favorite toppings to add to these rice bowls later.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon chicken taco seasoning
  • ½ cup onions chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves chopped
  • Salt and black pepper
  • ⅓ cup low sodium chicken stock

Rice

  • 1 cup rice

Instructions
 

Prep the toppings

  • Before you start cooking, prep the topping if uu would like them fresh eg pico de gallo, corn, black beans etc. Alternatively, use storebought topping. I served mine with Pico de Gallo, charred sweetcorn, black beans, sliced avocado, sour cream, cotija cheese, Jalapenos for heat and lime wedges

Cook the rice

  • You can cook the rice however you like on the stovetop, instant pot, or rice cooker. If you are looking to save time then feel free to use any package rice of choice or use leftover rice

Cook the ground chicken

  • Take the ground chicken out of the fridge a few minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature.
  • Place a skillet on medium heat, add olive oil, and heat up until hot
  • Add chopped onions and saute for 3-5 minutes stirring occasionally until the onion is soft and fragrant. Add chopped garlic and saute for 1 minute just until fragrant
  • Next, add the ground chicken to the sauteed aromatics and break it up with a spatula.
  • Leave undisturbed for about 2 to 3 minutes so it becomes a bit crispy, then add chicken taco seasoning, salt and pepper and stir together to combine.
  • Continue to stir until the mince is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  • Add chicken stock to the mince, stir to combine then reduce the heat, and continue to simmer until the liquid is reduced and almost evaporated. Stir to combine and take it off the heat. Use as desired in your dishes of choice.

Assemble your chicken rice bowl

  • Add cooked rice into a bowl and top generously with the ground chicken and your other favorite toppings of choice. See the listed toppings above for inspiration. Enjoy your delicious rice bowl.
