Remember that I created a series for the blog to help you if you are debating about joining Weight Watchers. It’s called Getting Started and will help you with the plan, and resources to help you be as successful as you should be.
Who doesn’t love Chipotle? I love going there, but I knew that I could make their famed chicken bowls myself. And I have to admit that this sheet pan chicken fajita bowls recipe is very similar to their bowl (the chicken seasoning isn’t quite the same, but the idea is there), and much cheaper. And it’s Weight Watchers friendly!I will be saving myself so much money by cooking this myself (most cooking done on one sheet pan) and it’s so freaking easy.
To make this sheet pan chicken fajita bowls recipe:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a large cookie sheet with foil. Spray olive oil spray on the foil. Lay the chicken breasts in the middle of the cookie sheet. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and the taco seasoning. Add the salsa on top of the chicken, if using.
Add the sliced peppers to one side of the cookie sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix to make sure that the seasoning is over all of the peppers.
Repeat process with the red onion slices. Place cookie sheet in the oven and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
When the chicken and peppers are finished cooking, create your bowl. Add 1/4 cup cooked rice, 3 slices of chicken, peppers and onions. Top with black beans, corn and more salsa, if desired. Serve immediately.
Let’s crush those goals that we have for ourselves this year! This recipe is not only incredibly easy, but it’s healthy and will fill out you up. No matter where you on your weight loss journey (or cooking journey), this recipe will make those times in the kitchen feel easy and worth the effort (mainly because the effort in the kitchen is minimal).
