When it comes to easy anti-inflammatory meal prep dinners that are also crowd-pleasers, these Paleo Chicken Fajita Bowls with fresh cilantro lime dressing take the prize.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb organic chicken breasts
  • 1 onion (red or yellow)
  • 2 bell peppers (any color/s)
  • Brown rice (or cauliflower if doing Paleo/low-carb/keto)
  • 2 Limes (or 1/4 cup lime juice)
  • Black beans (unless Paleo/low-carb/keto)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (omit if dairy-free or Paleo)
  • 1 Avocado (large and ripe)
  • Fresh Cilantro Lime Dressing

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing your chicken breasts into thin strips.
  2. Next, slice up your onions and bell peppers, taking care to remove all seeds and stems.
  3. Heat up your skillet and add some avocado oil, then toss in your chicken and stir until cooked through.
  4. Next, add your sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry until they are slightly softened.
  5. If you’re following Paleo guidelines these can be omitted. Otherwise, make sure to drain the beans from the can, then rinse them really well. 
  6. Warm them a little in a pot on the cooktop with a little water, salt, and chopped cilantro. (Sometimes I’ll throw in some dried onion flakes to give them a bit more flavor.)
  7. Choose your toppings based on whether or not you’re going true Paleo (dairy-free) or not.
  8. Layer your bowls starting with the rice, then layer in your fajita chicken, peppers, and onions.
  9. Top with black beans, cheese, and avocado.
  10. Then drizzle the fresh cilantro lime dressing on top!

Notes

These are super easy to meal prep for the week:

    1. Just make the chicken, peppers, and onions; and rice ahead of time, then layer into meal prep containers.

    1. Store up to 5 days in the fridge. Heat up when you’re ready to eat it, then drizzle the dressing on top before serving.
