Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Juice of ½ lime

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cilantro lime rice)

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, lime wedges, hot sauce


Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken:
    In a bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, lime juice, and all spices. Toss to coat well.
    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through (165°F internal temp). Let rest, then slice or dice.

  2. Assemble the bowls:
    Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top with black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and sliced chicken.

  3. Add toppings:
    Finish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, or a squeeze of lime juice.

  4. Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers for later.

Notes

  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.

  • Great with grilled or shredded rotisserie chicken.

  • Swap toppings to match your taste – lettuce, jalapeños, or pickled onions are great additions.
