These Zero Point Chicken Burrito Bowls are the kind of meal that makes healthy eating feel effortless and exciting. Brimming with bold spices, vibrant colors, and fresh ingredients, each bowl is a complete and satisfying dish that won’t cost you a single point on most Weight Watchers plans. It’s the perfect balance of flavor and nourishment — a wholesome dish that’s hearty enough to keep you full, yet light enough to keep you on track.
At the heart of these bowls is tender, juicy chicken breast, seasoned with a warm blend of cumin, chili powder, paprika, and garlic. A quick sear in the skillet locks in the flavor and gives the chicken a golden, slightly crispy edge. The smoky spices combined with a splash of fresh lime juice infuse every bite with that irresistible Tex-Mex taste — no heavy sauces or added oils needed.
Layered over a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice, the bowl is built for balance and texture. Crunchy bell peppers, juicy cherry tomatoes, zesty red onion, and fresh cilantro bring color and brightness, turning a simple dish into something that feels festive and full of life. Optional add-ins like corn or black beans add heartiness, while salsa or a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt can tie everything together with cool, creamy contrast.
What makes this meal truly special is its flexibility. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or throwing together a quick dinner, these burrito bowls are easy to customize and even easier to love. They’re a zero-point meal that feels anything but restrictive — satisfying, nourishing, and packed with flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed or shredded
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup black beans (optional — check your plan, may add points)
- 1 cup cooked corn (optional — may add points depending on plan)
- 2 cups cauliflower rice (or brown rice if desired, points vary)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Fresh lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- Season the chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken with lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes (or longer if you have time).
- Cook the chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side (or until fully cooked), stirring occasionally for even browning.
- Prepare the cauliflower rice: In a separate pan, lightly sauté cauliflower rice for 3–5 minutes until tender. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each with chicken, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, black beans, corn (if using), and fresh cilantro.
- Garnish and serve: Add a squeeze of lime juice to each bowl and serve immediately. Add optional toppings like salsa or fat-free Greek yogurt (0 points) for extra flavor.
💡 Tips:
- Meal prep friendly: Make a big batch and portion it out for easy grab-and-go lunches.
- Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Topping ideas: Salsa, pico de gallo, or avocado (track the points) take it to the next level.
