Ingredients

• 12 ounce chicken breast (boneless, skinless, diced into 1-inch pieces)
• 4 cup romaine lettuce (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Roma tomatoes (diced)
• 1 avocado (diced)
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
• 2 tablespoon full-fat sour cream
• 2 tablespoon low-sugar salsa

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss the diced chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
2. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
3. While chicken cooks, assemble the bowls: Divide the chopped romaine lettuce into two serving bowls. Top with diced Roma tomatoes and diced avocado.
4. Once cooked, divide the seasoned chicken evenly between the two bowls. Finish each bowl with a dollop of full-fat sour cream and a spoonful of low-sugar salsa.

Notes

For an extra kick, a dash of hot sauce can be added to the chicken or served on the side. Adjust toppings to your preference, ensuring they align with low-carb and low-sugar goals.
