Chipotle Chicken Buddha Bowl

In an attempt to eat better this year we’ve been eating Buddha bowls. Here is my favorite one so far. It seems like a lot if you look at these directions, but it’s not. The best part is you can make a bunch at once and then eat on it all week. Fun Fact – I used my George Foreman grill to grill the chicken. I’ve had it for 17 years and it’s still working!
