Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 cups Water
• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Chipotle powder
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Pepper
• 1 cup Corn kernels, fresh or frozen

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed, and the quinoa is fluffy.

Step 2

While quinoa cooks, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, chipotle powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix.

Step 5

Drizzle with lime juice and toss again to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 6

To assemble the bowls, divide the quinoa mixture evenly among four bowls. Top each with sliced chicken and avocado.

Step 7

Garnish with additional cilantro and serve immediately.
