Chicken Fajita Rice Bowl – fajita seasoned chicken mixed with peppers, onions, RO*TEL and cilantro lime rice. A bold and flavorful meal the family will love.
Chicken fajita rice bowl is a great meal that gives my family a break from everyday routine. I am back with more ways to fiesta in May. I showed you how I spice up breakfast with this southwestern breakfast casserole. Today I want to share a break from the everyday dinner and lunch with this chicken fajita rice bowl.
This rice bowl is like eating a chicken fajita in a bowl. It is a filling meal that will leave you satisfied. Filled with red and yellow peppers, onions, seasoned chicken all mixed up with cilantro lime rice and RO*TEL. And if you just don’t feel like using a fork, this mixture is great rolled up in a flour tortilla.
To Make Chicken Fajita Rice Bowl:
- Cook rice. Once cooked stir in lime juice and cilantro, set aside.
- Season chopped chicken with fajita seasoning and brown in a skillet.

If there is any leftover, this makes a great meal to pack for lunch the next day. My husband usually requests that I double this recipe so he can bring it for his work lunch.
