Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Chipotle in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chipotle in adobo sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

2. Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine brown rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

3. Cook the chicken: Preheat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook each side for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

4. Prepare the toppings: Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the red onion, and cube the avocado. Chop the cilantro finely.

Step 5

5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly into four bowls. Add a portion of black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and sliced chicken to each bowl.

Step 6

6. Garnish: Top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.

Step 7

7. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein chipotle chicken burrito bowl.
