Bright, herbaceous chimichurri is the star of this hearty chicken-topped grain bowl. First, you’ll cook carrots and chicken in our fajita spice blend until browned and tender. You'll spoon them over a fluffy grain blend of rice, bulgur and barley, then drizzle with tangy chimichurri. Finish with a sprinkle of crispy friend onions and a drizzle of sour cream—all in a quick 10 minutes!

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Heat carrots and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings) in a large pan over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has evaporated, 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
Once water in pan with carrots has evaporated, reduce heat to medium high. Add a drizzle of oil, chicken, Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Massage grain blend in package to separate grains; partially open package. Microwave until warmed through, 60-90 seconds.
Divide grain blend between shallow bowls and top with chicken and carrots. Drizzle with as much chimichurri as you like. Top with crispy fried onions and drizzle with sour cream. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Definite keeper and the easiest meal I think I've made from HF to date. I had some bell peppers, zucchini and half an onion I needed to use so roasted them in the oven to serve with these bowls and up the veggies. This made 4 meals easily for my husband and I.
I was pleasantly surprised by this quick and easy dish! I really enjoyed the variety of grains, the herbal and tangy flavors of the chimichurri and seasonings, combined with the carrots and shrimp-a terrific, cohesive meal.
This is a quick meal that is also fairly healthy. The chimichurri is SO flavorful!!!
Tasty, but the chimichurri was a little spicy. Try toning it down a little as some of us really enjoy chimichurri.
Really enjoyed this. The chimichurri sauce was great. I did add slices of zucchini
Great flavors. Enjoyed the mix of grains instead of just rice.
Súper delicious and so quick and easy to prepare. Loved it!
This was so fast, so easy, and one of our favorite meals yet!
Great flavors and very easy to cook. Seems pretty healthy too.
Really good! I would say maybe a larger portion would be good. Also, I'm not familiar with this dish, but I feel like it would be great with more vegetables
