Chicken Fajita Bowls with Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Fajita Bowls with Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious and vibrant meal, start by preparing your marinade.

2. Step 2

   In a resealable plastic bag, mix together 1/8 cup of chopped cilantro, fresh orange juice, 1/8 cup of olive oil, the juice from half a lime, chipotle chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Step 3

   Gently squeeze the bag to blend all the ingredients into a flavorful concoction.

4. Step 4

   Next, slice your chicken into 1-inch pieces and add it to the marinade.

5. Step 5

   Seal the bag, making sure to remove most of the air, and give it a good shake to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

6. Step 6

   Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour if you have the time—this will really enhance the flavors.

7. Step 7

   While the chicken is soaking up all that goodness, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

8. Step 8

   In a large bowl, toss together slices of red and green bell peppers with onion pieces.

9. Step 9

   Drizzle the remaining 1/8 cup of olive oil over the veggies and season with salt and pepper.

10. Step 10

    Mix everything well until the vegetables are nicely coated.

11. Step 11

    Now, line a 12 x 18-inch baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

12. Step 12

    Spread the marinated chicken and seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they have enough space to roast beautifully.

13. Step 13

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are lightly charred, adding a lovely depth of flavor.

14. Step 14

    While your chicken and veggies are baking, it’s time to whip up some cauliflower rice.

15. Step 15

    Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the frozen riced cauliflower along with a splash of water.

16. Step 16

    Stir frequently as it cooks for about 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

17. Step 17

    Drain any excess moisture to keep it light and fluffy.

18. Step 18

    Once your cauliflower rice is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl and stir in melted ghee, the reserved 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, the juice from one lime, and a sprinkle of lime zest.

19. Step 19

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, and give it a good mix to combine all those zesty flavors.

20. Step 20

    Now it’s time to assemble your bowls! Start with a generous layer of the cilantro-lime cauliflower rice, then add the fajita chicken and roasted vegetables on top.
