Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2.5 cups water
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, combine chipotle powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Sear them for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and have a nice char. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the brown rice. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until rice is tender.
While the rice cooks, prepare the toppings. Rinse and drain the can of black beans. Lightly saute the black beans and corn in a separate pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Dice the red bell pepper, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.
Once the rice is done, begin to assemble the bowls. Start with a base of brown rice, then layer with black beans, corn, and red bell pepper.
Slice the rested chicken breasts and arrange them on top of each bowl.
Garnish each bowl with sliced avocado, a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge on the side.
Serve immediately, allowing everyone to squeeze fresh lime juice over their bowls to taste.
