Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 whole avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a resilient plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, rinse the brown rice under cold water.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and 1 cup of chicken broth to a boil. Add the rinsed brown rice, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 35 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Step 5
In a grill pan over medium-high heat, grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.
Step 7
To assemble the bowl, divide the cooked brown rice among four bowls.
Step 8
Top each with equal portions of the black bean and corn mixture, sliced grilled chicken, and avocado slices.
Step 9
Garnish with additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, low-fat bowl!
