Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 1 15-ounce can black beans
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a large zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and massage it to distribute the marinade evenly. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red and green bell peppers and the onion into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Drain and rinse the canned black beans.

Step 8

To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice equally among four bowls. Top each bowl with cooked chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and a spoonful of black beans.

Step 9

Slice the avocado and divide it among the bowls. Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Step 10

Enjoy your dairy-free chicken fajita bowls immediately while warm.
