21-Day Fix Approved Chipotle Chicken!

This recipe totally reminds me of Chipotle's burrito bowl!!  Since there isn't a Chipotle close to home for me and I can never make a good guess on it's calories, I'll surely be adding this recipe to my family's dinner menu!!

Plus, taking a look at this meal, no one can ever claim that the 21 Day Fix eating plan is bland or will leave you feeling deprived!

This meal makes about 5 servings (or 4 if your husband enjoys a larger portion, such as mine does).

Chipotle Chicken, Lime Quinoa, and Avocado Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing

Chipotle Chicken

Ingredients

• 1.25 lbs of Chicken Breast Tenders
• 2-3 tsp Chipotle Powder (to your taste)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp White Wine Vinegar

• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1.5 Tbsp Honey or 1/2 Tbsp Stevia

Directions

Combine all of the above ingredients into a sealed container or ziploc bag and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for several hours. (I usually throw this together the night before or over my lunch hour.)

Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the chicken and the marinade into the skillet and cook until browned on both sides and the chicken is cooked through. About 4 minutes per side.

Lime Quinoa

Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve and then transfer to a medium pot. Add all of the ingredients except for the lime zest and juice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 15-20 minutes, covered, until the water is absorbed. Add the lime juice and zest and fluff with a fork.
