High Protein Low Cal Chipotle Lime Chicken Bowls
These high protein chipotle lime chicken bowls are the ultimate substitute for your favorite takeout burrito bowl—macro-friendly, filling, and delicious. Marinated chicken thighs are grilled or seared to juicy perfection, with a smoky heat from chipotle peppers and a bright burst of lime. Served over a bed of quinoa or brown rice and paired with hearty toppings like black beans, corn, bell pepper, and red onion, it's a colorful bowl loaded with nutrients. A creamy 'flavor bomb' sauce made from avocado, herbs, lime, and garlic ties the whole dish together. This is the kind of meal prep you’ll look forward to eating all week. It makes four balanced servings and can be customized with your favorite toppings or greens for extra volume and texture.
