Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Brush this mixture over both sides of the 2 pieces of chicken breast.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove from heat and let it rest.
While the chicken is cooking, rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water, then place it in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse 1 can of black beans.
Dice the red bell pepper and cut the avocado into cubes.
Once the rice is cooked, divide it evenly among four bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken, a portion of black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and avocado.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl for added flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve each bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
Enjoy your high protein and flavorful meal!
