Healthy Chicken Taco Bowls


These healthy chicken taco bowls can be made ahead of time and used as meal prep meals or as a family dinner.  It’s a win either way!

Ok you guys.  I LOVE Mexican food and flavors and honestly could probably eat it every day.  When I make these healthy chicken taco bowls for our meal prep meals, I am feeling good about myself and loving my meal.  We also make these for dinner quite often because they are so easy and my girls love them.

So, there are three things you are prepping in this recipe.  You will be making the chicken of course (which can be used for tacos as well).  You will also being making rice and beans as well as some sweet potatoes.  YUM!

After you are done making all of these delicious things you can easily split them up into your meal prep containers, keep refrigerated until you are ready to use and then warm up and top with your favorite toppings.

Some of my favorite toppings are:

  • Pico De Gallo (you can make your own or purchase in the refrigerated section at your local grocery store)
  • Lime wedges
  • Avocado
  • Cilantro
  • Tortilla chips

If you don’t have all of the spices, feel free to use a chicken taco seasoning.
