Of course, when my energy is low, I love to have simple and quick recipes on hand to make for dinner. This chicken taco bowl is one of them! I have made it completely from scratch…cooking rice, baking chicken. But I’ve also found some easy workarounds for those days when my energy is really low! And I wanted to go ahead and share them with you!
First, I don’t specify what kind of chicken to use. I often buy a rotisserie chicken from the local grocery store and use that for meals for a few days, and I will shred some of that and use it in this recipe. I have also grilled extra chicken breasts when grilling out, and used that. A few times, I used some frozen, ready-to-eat chicken that I thawed.
When I’ve been busy or low on energy, I’ve gotten onion and bell pepper that were pre-cut for this recipe. That allows me to throw this together with little prep time! To reduce prep-time even more, feel free to skip adding the taco seasoning…unless you really want that flavor. Using plain chicken is just fine.
Make is simple, and make it yours! That’s what I always say, when it comes to the food you make for yourself.
