Method

1

Place chicken breast in a large skillet with 1 cup chicken broth and taco seasoning. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and cover. Poach for 12–15 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove and let cool slightly.

Using two forks or a stand mixer with paddle, shred the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces.

3

Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Layer romaine lettuce and black beans on top of the rice in each bowl.

4

Top each bowl with shredded chicken, then scatter diced red onion and halved cherry tomatoes across the surface.

5

Finish with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro. Serve lime wedge on the side and warm corn tortillas alongside.

6

Drizzle cilantro-lime crema and salsa roja over each bowl at the table. Add avocado slices if desired.
