Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 0.5 red onion
• 1 cucumber
• 1 avocado
• 1 lime, juiced
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 3

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil and sauté the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and sliced red onion until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

5. While the peppers are cooking, peel and dice the cucumber and pit and dice the avocado. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro to make the avocado-lime sauce.

Step 6

6. To assemble the taco bowls, place a generous handful of chopped romaine lettuce in each serving bowl.

Step 7

7. Divide and arrange the cooked chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado-lime sauce evenly among the bowls.

Step 8

8. Garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your fresh and healthy Paleo Chicken Taco Bowl!
