Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup brown rice or quinoa

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the spice mixture. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

    Prepare the Rice/Quinoa: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

      Warm the Beans and Corn: In a small saucepan, heat the black beans and corn over low heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

        Assemble the Bowls: In bowls, start by layering the brown rice or quinoa as the base. Top with the sliced chicken, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado.

          Add Flavor: Drizzle lime juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and shredded cheese.

            Serve: Optionally, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top for added creaminess before serving.
