Ingredients

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2.5 cups water
• 1 can black beans
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, combine chipotle powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Sear them for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and have a nice char. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the brown rice. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until rice is tender.

Step 5

While the rice cooks, prepare the toppings. Rinse and drain the can of black beans. Lightly saute the black beans and corn in a separate pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Dice the red bell pepper, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.

Step 6

Once the rice is done, begin to assemble the bowls. Start with a base of brown rice, then layer with black beans, corn, and red bell pepper.

Step 7

Slice the rested chicken breasts and arrange them on top of each bowl.

Step 8

Garnish each bowl with sliced avocado, a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge on the side.

Step 9

Serve immediately, allowing everyone to squeeze fresh lime juice over their bowls to taste.
