  • Homemade Chipotle Chicken Bowls 🍗🍚
    Follow @drmattcooks for more recipes and inspo!
    I went to Chipotle and was surprised that a bowl with double chicken and guacamole was almost $18. I went to Aldi right afterwards to get the same ingredients in order to make the bowls at home. The total for the ingredients was $15 (not including the oil and spices I already have at home).
    Eating lunch out is perfectly fine on occasion! But, I want to show you all that making it yourself can be more affordable, time-saving, and perhaps even enjoyable. Save the money for intentional dinner dates, occasions, and quality time! Cheers!
    Ingredients:
    -2 lbs of chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
    -3 cups of uncooked brown rice
    -2 ripe avocados
    -1 can of black beans
    -1 can of yellow corn
    -6 limes
    -2 tsp garlic powder
    -2 tsp onion powder
    -2 tsp ground cumin
    -2 tsp dried oregano
    -2 tsp smoked paprika
    -2 tsp chili powder
    -cilantro or parsley bunch, finely chopped
    -salt and pepper
    -avocado or olive oil for cooking
    Instructions:
    -add chicken to a bowl and season with above spices; allow to marinate in bowl for 20 minutes up to overnight
    -cook brown rice according to package instructions
    -add avocado to a bowl and smash; season with salt, lime juice, and cilantro
    -add corn and beans to bowls and season with salt, lime juice, and cilantro
    -sear chicken in batches until internal temp is 165F/74C
    -allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before dicing
    -add cooked brown rice into a bowl and drizzle with oil; season with salt, lime juice, and cilantro
    -prepare meal containers and build the chipotle bowls
    -store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months

    Having worked at Chipotle, you can add canned chipotle peppers and honey to the chicken marinade and that is also what is in the vinegrette with red wine vinegar, salt, & fresh oregano. Also, the corn salsa uses cilantro, fresh red onion, jalapeneo, and lemon/lime juice. Rice and beans should also have cilantro, lemon/lime, and salt. Lastly, guac has cilantro, onion, salt, lemon/lime, jalapeneo, and I like to add fresh garlic outside their recipe. Didnt plan on going through all the things but there you go haha.

  • @sensimania
    @sensimania Місяць тому +1824

    TIP: If you plan on making in bulk and freezing the meal bowls, freeze the guac separately in individual portions (or just make it fresh each time - since it doesn't take long to prepare). That way, the rest of the food can be (defrosted from the night before) heated all together. Then the cold (or room temp) guac could be added on top.

      I agree. I saw four servings. When prepping stuff like this I usually do 8-12 servings and freeze. Depending on the complexity of the overall recipe, scaling up will have diminishing returns, but making eight of these is definitely better use of time than four.

The best option for this crunchy textured veggie, is always cold, crispy, and fresh from the half a week you cut it. Most people enjoy it for its texture, unless you're a fan of watery dirt flavor and beets.

      Wholy guacamole is the brand name. You can get it at most grocery stores. In "mild" & "spicy". It's actually cost effective because you use it fresh so it doesn't spoil, and comes 4 little containers per package, pretty good size serving as well!!! And you can always doctor it up with diced tomatoes & onions!!!! (And cilantro if you can eat it-which I cannot. Tastes icky 😢)

      I do appreciate that aspect compared to a lot of other fast food chains! Love that you can see it being cooked in the back. I would say making at home is still more fresh in real time because you know the source of the ingredients for the most part, and you’re cooking it yourself. However, I do love restaurants and fast food that cook the way chipotle does.

    Me and my daughter did this a few weeks ago because we love Chipotle but it can be expensive especially we both picky and always want double meats so I be spending $24-$27 and that’s twice a week. I swear I literally had left overs of all the makings of a chipotle bowl and told my baby let’s do this she loved especially because I had made chicken breast one night then some steak and she was able to make her bowl with double meat and guacamole 🥑 and cheese 🧀 for free!!

      Hey there! Will copy and paste my reply to the same question!
      “I was actually a bit nervous about that too. But if you pack it tight and press down the lid container and remove the air, the guac actually stayed fresh for 3 to 4 days afterwards! maybe a little bit browning on the edges, but the core of the guac stays fresh. Also, if you sprinkle a little bit of lime juice, that helps preserve it longer.”

    Looking forward to this. You saved a lot of money considering you got 3 X the food.

      Exactly! Made a more recent chipotle meal prep video too. Will keep making these!

      Thanks so much! This isn’t my authentic guacamole recipe and I typically don’t use it for meal prep though.

      I know right? It’s ok from time to time, but I wouldn’t get it several times a week. It feels better to make it at home if possible! Thanks for watching! :)

    I can't imagine why it costs that much for the bowl 😂 oh you just proved why, your paying for Labor and the ingredients that go into your bowl 🤗

    It's not rocket science, you're paying for convenience. Of course Chipotle is gonna cost less if you make it at home

    • @DrMattCooks

      I agree it isn’t rocket science, but it is easy to get into the habit of buying it often and not realizing the ease at home!
