Notes

Swap out the chicken breast for chicken thighs, ground turkey, ground beef or even black beans.
I like using Gourmet Fresh salsa but you can use a jarred salsa or a homemade version.
Swap up the veggies to include whatever you have on hand.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in a pan on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Freeze these bowls for up to 3 months then microwave from frozen for 6-7 minutes.
