Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, low sodium
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 piece Lime, juice and zest
• 2 cups Brown rice, cooked
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 cup Black beans, no salt added, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Corn, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the chipotle peppers, garlic powder, cumin powder, paprika, and olive oil with the lime juice and zest to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the cilantro lime rice by mixing the cooked rice with chopped cilantro and a splash of lime juice.

Step 4

In a pan over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

In a large bowl or individual bowls, layer the cilantro lime rice at the bottom.

Step 6

Top the rice with black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, red onion, and romaine lettuce.

Step 7

Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place them over the vegetable mixture.

Step 8

Season the bowls with ground black pepper and garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors of your Low Sodium Chipotle Chicken Bowl!
