Easy Brown Rice Chicken Burrito Bowl with Charred Corn

A sponsored post.

I love Mexican food and I’m trying to cook more in 2017.

I’ve also been continuing on with my weekend meal prep and this Chicken Burrito Bowl with Charred Corn made with USA-grown rice has become a staple in my house.

It keeps really well, so you can make it ahead of time and take it with you for lunch the next day. It’s also an easy weeknight meal idea when you’re craving something simple that doesn’t require a ton of prep. To save time, you can even cook the brown rice and grill the chicken ahead of time and assemble the Chicken Burrito Bowl when you’re ready.

I tried to keep this recipe simple, fresh and healthy. The brown rice is so incredibly filling and packed with fiber, that I didn’t add black beans to my recipe – but you could do so easily if you’d like and stretch this recipe into four bowls!

For a vegan version, simply omit the cheese and replace the chicken completely with black beans. Here’s the recipe:
