  1. In a saucepan, combine the rice and diced tomatoes with green chiles, and stir. Add in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover. Cook for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork.
  2. While the rice is cooking, combine the seasonings in a small bowl: The salt, ground black pepper, paprika, ancho chile powder, and chili powder. Sprinkle the seasoning over the chicken and toss to combine.
  3. Heat about 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive on medium heat and add in the chicken. Cook until the chicken is cooked through completely.
  4. Add the black beans to the chicken and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Assemble the burrito bowl by first layering in a spoonful of the rice then the lettuce, and cheese dip.
  6. Top with the chicken and beans. Top with any additional favorite toppings!
