I am so excited to partner with my friends at Shenandoah Valley Organic to bring you today’s post! SVO is truly one of my favorite chicken companies because they pride itself in producing the highest quality chicken grown on family-owned farms. Their chickens are humanely raised and fed a diet free from animal byproducts, pesticides, and antibiotics.
On their website you can see where all of the farms are located, so you know just where your chicken was raised.
Their chicken is seriously amazing. You can literally taste the quality! Their business model is one that I love. It’s a farmer focused one; created by farmers, for farmers. It was created this way to provide the highest quality organic chicken at an affordable price while encouraging healthy eating and cultural awareness.
These burrito bowls are a game changer. An amazing chipotle crema, fresh pico de gallo, marinated chicken, and all the fixins’!
Plus, this Mexican-style cauliflower rice is AMAZING.

- 1/2 teaspoon sea Salt

Other Ingredients:

Instructions
1. Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Place chicken in a bowl and add the rest of the wet rub ingredients. Mix until chicken is well coated in the spice rub.
2. Grill chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until chicken is opaque and fully cooked through. If using a grill pan, cover the pan during the cooking process to make sure the chicken cooks through.
3. While chicken is on the grill, prepare the cauliflower rice. Heat a medium skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add in cauli rice and the rest of the ingredients and saute for 5-8 minutes, until the cauliflower is cooked through. Take off heat and set aside. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Once chicken is cooked through, let cool, dice and set aside until ready to eat.
5. In a separate medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add in sliced onions and peppers. Saute until onions begin to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Take off heat and set aside.
6. Add pico de gallo ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside until ready to eat.
7. Add chipotle crema ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
8. Assemble bowl: Place cauliflower rice on the bottom, top with grilled chicken, sauted onions and peppers, black beans if using, pico de gallo, scallions, and a drizzle of chipotle crema.
Notes
*This is a great meal prep item! Prep all of the ingredients the day before, and then simple assemble the bowl when ready to eat!

Liz, they are the perfect post-gym meal!
That Mexican cauliflower rice looks phenomenal!!
SO good!
Craving one of these bowls now!

“Jalapeno” is misspelled as “1 jalanepo, diced” so you might want to correct it — or not,
Thank you for the catch!
Hi! The peppers, onions and garlic aren’t in the ingredients. What are the quantities?
FIXED. So sorry!
No worries! I made them tonight, they were amazing! Thank you!
That cauliflower rice is perfection! Omg, yum!
Made these for dinner tonight…AMAZING!!!!!! These will definitely be made again!
So glad you love them!!!
This isn’t Whole 30 compliant when you add beans and cheese…
Correct. Simply omit beans and cheese for whole30!
Freezing these with the crema will be fine when thawed ?
I would make it fresh, along with chopped lettuce, tomato, etc. But up to you!
The ingredients for the sautéed peppers and onions isn’t listed. I had made this recipe before and remember seeing it last time…
Fixed. Sorry!
No worries! Thank you!
This is so amazing! The rub on the chicken is perfect, it is so full of flavor I can see using this chicken for so many other dishes. The cauliflower rice, chicken, fresh veggies and the chipotle Crema makes this dish satisfying, flavorful and definitely something I will want to make over and over. My husband and two teen boys are already asking when we will have it again. Highly recommend this recipe and to top it all off it’s perfect for meal prep!

I am making for a family with young children. Is this fairly spicy? I’m just wondering how to make it not too spicy for kids 🙂
How do i make this without a grill? Would if work if i cook on stove top with my cast iron skillet?
Absolutely!
If I meal prep this ahead, do I eat everything cold or reheat the rice, chicken and beans?
