Another great recipe Krista! I made this tonight for dinner and it turned out delicious! I used turkey instead of chicken, and I also added some frozen corn, a squeeze of lime juice, and fresh cilantro to the mixture and it all paired beautifully. I served it with some homemade cilantro lime brown rice and guacamole and it was a huge hit! Love how easy this was to make and will definitely be making again ☺️
Yummy!! So glad you enjoyed, Brooke! 🙂

Can you make this and then freeze it for later?
I would assume you could freeze the cooked chicken and rice. I wouldn't assemble the bowl with toppings and freeze it.
