Cilantro Lime Chicken Rice Bowl

Freshly cooked rice with crispy air fryer chicken, topped with a delicious sauce and all the fixings...you really can't go wrong! I had a lot of fun making this recipe. It's quite literally a "rice bowl". Now you don't have to make your bowl out of rice, but it was a fun experience and a different way to enjoy one of my favorites! For the rice bowl, I added a ramekin upside down inside the bowl. Then I packed it with rice and flipped it over to create a real bowl made out of rice! See my TikTok video for a full breakdown of how to make the rice bowl.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Optional: Fresh rice is best, so it's best to start the rice first if you are making it on your own. I like to use my rice cooker.

Step 2

Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees.

Step 3

Add your chicken to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cumin and oregano.

Step 4

Air fry for 15-20 minutes until crispy on the outside, but still juicy on the inside.

Step 5

For the sauce, in a bowl, mix together your mayo, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder and salt. This can be made ahead of time and kept stored in the fridge.

Step 6

Season your rice with cilantro and lime juice.

Step 7

Add your rice to a bowl along with your chicken, additional toppings and cilantro lime aioli. See video for alternative way to make a fun "rice bowl". Enjoy!
