Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.5 juice of lime
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 can black beans 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely diced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, lime wedges, hot sauce optional toppings

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, lime juice, and all spices. Mix well to coat the chicken thoroughly.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
  • Prepare your bowls: divide the cooked rice evenly into 4 bowls. Top each with black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, red onion, and cilantro.
  • Add the sliced chicken to each bowl and finish with any desired toppings such as shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, or a squeeze of lime.
  • Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers for up to 4 days. Add fresh toppings right before serving.
