Ingredients
UnitsScale
1.5lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2cups cooked white or brown rice
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
1cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, sliced
1/4cup chopped cilantro
1/4cup shredded cheese (optional)
1/4cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
Fresh lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken 5–6 minutes per side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the rice, beans, and toppings.
To assemble, divide rice into bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and desired toppings.
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
Chicken can also be baked or pan-seared if a grill is not available.
Customize with salsa, hot sauce, or pickled jalapeños for extra flavor.
Meal prep friendly—store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
