Start by marinating the chicken breast. In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper to form a paste.
Coat the chicken breast with the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chicken breast. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the cilantro-lime cauliflower rice. In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the cauliflower rice. Cook for about 5 minutes until the rice is tender.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and the juice of one lime into the cauliflower rice. Mix well and set aside.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the can of low-sodium black beans to warm them through for about 3-4 minutes.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cilantro-lime cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top with sliced chicken, warm black beans, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped romaine lettuce, steamed corn, and sliced avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious and healthy low-sodium chipotle bowl.
