Instructions

  • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and season with paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked.

  • Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, minced garlic, paprika, and lime zest. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Notes

For a spicy version, add chopped jalapeños or drizzle hot sauce over the bowls.

Substitute chicken with turkey, beef, or tofu for different protein options.

You can switch basmati rice with quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.

Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop.
