Ground Chicken Taco Bowl
Ok, Taco contains carbohydrates, I get it. However, taco bowls are one of my favorite ways to serve any protein food items s
uch as eggs, ground meats, or vegetarian proteins. 2 Mission Super Soft Street Tacos only have 26 g of total carbohydrates. This amount of carbohydrates are not as bad. Moreover, this recipe has vegetables that help to decrease sugar absorption.
This recipe calls for the ground chicken to be served in taco bowls. However, this step is optional. You can also serve them on lettuce bowls. I hope you will enjoy this easy Keto-Friendly recipe. Let me know what you think. Leave a comment and star rating.

- Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Taco Bowls
Ingredients
Ground Chicken
- 1 lb. Ground Chicken
- 2 tbsp. Complete Seasoning
- 3 tsp Roasted Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp. Smoked Parika
- 3 tsp. Salt
- 2.5 tsp. Black Pepper
- 3 tbsp. Cooking Oil
- 2 tsp, Cumin Seeds
Vegetables
- 3 cups Zucchini, Diced
- 2 cups Carrot, Diced
- 1 Can Diced Tomato
- 2 cups Frozen Onion and Peppers
Instructions
Let's Prepare The Vegetables
- On a bamboo cutting board, use a knife to dice zucchini into small to medium pieces.
- Do the same for the carrot. Dice carrots into small to medium cubes.
- Open the can of diced tomato. Pour contents into a bowl and set aside.
- Leave frozen onion and peppers at room temperature to thaw.
Let's Cook The Ground Chicken
- Season ground chicken with Badia Complete seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight in a mixing bowl.
- In a cast-iron skillet pan, heat 3 tablespoons canola oil for 1 minute. Add the cumin seeds and allow to cook for 1 more minute.
- To the heated oil mixture, carefully add the seasoned grounded chicken and cook until browned. Stir periodically to avoid burning using a wooden spoon.
- Add the thawed sweet peppers and onions. Fresh onions and sweet peppers can be used in place of the frozen version if you desire.
- Mix together and cook for 2 minutes. This will allow for their juices to be released into the chicken.
- To the chicken mixture add the diced carrots and allow to cook for another 1 minute.
- Add the diced Zucchini and continue cooking. Stir and mix together until all the ingredients are fairly distributed throughout.
- After 2 minutes of adding the zucchini and cooking, add the diced tomatoes and stir together.
- Allow simmering over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from flame and serve.

I stopped cooking Ground Chicken because I thought it was dry, but your recipe makes me want to try. thanks 😊
You are right, Elodie. Ground chicken can be dry, so cooking in a sauce or with veggies adds a ton of juiciness to them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Looks delicious!
