Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of chipotle peppers, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the cauliflower rice. Cook according to package instructions, then set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil if necessary.
Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken rests, dice the avocado and cut the lime into wedges.
To assemble the bowl, divide the cauliflower rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with sliced chicken, a generous spoonful of pico de gallo, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
