The Mexican chain El Pollo Loco recently expanded its existing line of Signature Bowls to include two delicious new options. Like the chain's existing bowls, the new dishes provide an easy way to enjoy a hearty and healthy medley of chicken and fresh vegetables.
The new additions to the El Pollo Loco menu include the Chicken Fajita Bowl and the Triple Protein Chicken Bowl. The former combines chicken breast with avocado and flavorful fajita vegetables, alongside traditional burrito toppings. The latter features a triple portion of chicken breast, as well as broccoli, onions, sour cream pico de gallo and black beans. Both dishes are designed to give customers tantalizing new ways to enjoy chicken by combining it with other fresh ingredients in a takeout-friendly bowl format.
