Tips for the Best One-Skillet Chicken Burrito Bowls:

- Use a large skillet: This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure the chicken and vegetables cook evenly. - Cook the chicken in batches if necessary: If you're using a smaller skillet, cook the chicken in batches so that it doesn't steam instead of browning. - Season the chicken well: Don't be shy with the spices! A good blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder will give the chicken great flavor. - Use fresh, flavorful vegetables: The vegetables are a key part of these burrito bowls, so make sure to use fresh, flavorful veggies that you enjoy. - Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be crisp-tender, not mushy. - Use a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make these burrito bowls special. Offer a variety of options, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes. - Serve immediately: These burrito bowls are best served immediately after they're made.
