Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 2 cups Cooked rice
• 1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Corn kernels
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
• 1 whole Avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole Lime, juiced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with packet taco seasoning, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 3

Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the base of your bowl by adding 0.5 cup of cooked rice into each serving bowl.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the black beans and corn among the bowls (approximately 0.25 can of beans and 0.25 cup of corn per bowl).

Step 6

Top each bowl with cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and diced avocado.

Step 7

Add the sliced chicken on top of each bowl.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this dressing over each taco bowl.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the bowls and add a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful chicken taco bowls!
