Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 cup brown rice
• 15 ounce can black beans
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 large avocado
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add it to the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, cook the brown rice according to the package instructions.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the black beans, then set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the red onion into thin strips as well.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

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

Step 8

To assemble the bowl, place a portion of cooked rice at the bottom. Top with a layer of sautéed vegetables and cooked chicken strips.

Step 9

Add a spoonful of black beans over the mixture, followed by slices of avocado and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a side of salsa. Enjoy your high protein chicken fajita bowl!
