Southwest Chipotle Chicken Bowls

I love a good one bowl dinner that delivers big in the flavor department! This bowl of goodness is winner winner chicken dinner! It is full of sooo many amazing southwest flavors and the best part about this bowl for me is that it’s super healthy! I’m currently doing weight watchers and for all of you weight watchers point obsessed trackers like me, this is a zero point dinner! I have to say, it’s the perfect dinner for when you’re on that health kick but still want to really enjoy what you’re eating! This would be a perfect option for meal prep as well as you can build multiple bowls and place them in the fridge for the week. The lime crema made with non fat greek yogurt is the perfect topping along with a squeeze of fresh lime! There isn’t anything about this bowl that I don’t love! I will be adding it to my repeat list for sure! Carl and I both really enjoyed this dinner! I hope you give it a try and see for yourself how D to the LISH it is!
