Chicken:
In a small bowl, whisk chicken rub ingredients together and rub evenly all over chicken breast. Time permitting, allow chicken to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 8 hours then bring to room temperature before cooking.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned (or blackened if you prefer) on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble:
When rice is done, immediately divide it between 4 bowls and top with cheese. Top cheese with chicken, other desired burrito bowl ingredients and finish with a big dollop of Avocado Crema.
ENJOY!
