Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
Slice the chicken breast into strips and coat them in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the cilantro-lime rice. Begin by cooking 1 cup of white rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 0.5 cup of chopped cilantro. Set aside.
Preheat a grill pan or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and charred on the outside.
Heat the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Drain and rinse if using canned beans.
Prepare the toppings by dicing the avocado and setting out 1 cup of pico de gallo, 0.5 cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Assemble the chipotle bowls by dividing the cilantro-lime rice and black beans among four bowls.
Top each bowl with grilled chipotle chicken, a spoonful of pico de gallo, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade chipotle bowl!
