Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper. Add the diced chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 15–30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and browned, about 6–8 minutes.
- Prepare the base and toppings: If your rice isn’t already cooked, prepare it according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the black beans, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, and chop cilantro.
- Assemble the bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice first, followed by black beans, corn, cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle lime juice over each bowl and top with chopped cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Customize with more or less chipotle powder for your heat preference; serve with lime wedges for added brightness.
