Everything you love about a burrito bowl — tender chicken, fluffy rice, black beans, and sweet peppers — all baked together in one Dutch oven with zero fuss. Just stir, cover, and let the oven do the work. Finish it with a drizzle of queso or a dollop of sour cream and dinner is done.

Tips & Variations
- ✦Rinsing the rice before adding it helps remove excess starch so it cooks up fluffy rather than sticky.
- ✦Add a can of diced tomatoes or a cup of salsa to the pot for extra flavor and color.
- ✦Top with shredded Mexican cheese, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or a squeeze of lime for a full burrito bowl experience.
- ✦Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days — reheat with a splash of water or broth to keep the rice moist.
