Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized to create zoodles

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 small red onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 can (15 oz) black beans, thoroughly rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (can use fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Carefully add the diced chicken and sprinkle with taco seasoning, stirring well to coat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the diced red onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions turn translucent and the peppers are tender.

      Combine the Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Gently stir everything together and let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and squeeze the lime juice into the mixture, adjusting to taste.

        Prepare the Zoodles: In a separate pan, add the spiralized zucchini (zoodles) and cook over medium heat for just 1-2 minutes until they soften slightly. If you prefer a crunchier texture, you may choose to leave them raw.

          Assemble the Bowls: Create a base layer of zoodles in serving bowls. Generously top with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add the diced avocado and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Enhance the dish with any optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños, according to your preference.

            Serve and Enjoy: If desired, drizzle with extra lime juice to add a zesty kick. Toss the ingredients together gently to blend flavors and dig into your healthy and delicious Taco Chicken Zoodle Bowls!
