Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Black beans
• 2 cups Cooked quinoa
• 1 cup Corn kernels
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, blend the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, and salt until smooth to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is resting, prepare your toppings. Rinse and drain the black beans, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.

Step 5

In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa at the base. Arrange the black beans, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion on top.

Step 6

Slice the grilled chicken breasts and place them on the prepared bowls.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the juice of one lime with the Greek yogurt to make a simple lime yogurt dressing.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately. Enjoy your high-protein, flavorful Chipotle Chicken Bowl!
