Ingredients

  • 1⅓ lb chicken breast
  • 2½ cups cooked rice
  • 1½ cups black beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt to taste
  • Hot sauce to taste (optional)
  • Sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken in lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions with a bay leaf in the water.
  2. Heat a skillet over high heat until smoking. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until charred and cooked through (165°F internal). Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. While the chicken rests, fold fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt into the hot rice. Warm the black beans with cumin in a small pot.
  4. Build the bowls: rice on the bottom, black beans, sliced chicken. Top with pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and a squeeze of lime.
