Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, mix the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, cook the rice. Add the rice and chicken broth to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes or until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Meanwhile, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the pan. Discard any leftover marinade. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (75Β°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Prepare the toppings by dicing the Roma tomatoes, chopping the red onion, and cilantro.
Drain and rinse the black beans. Set aside with the corn kernels.
Dice the avocado and set it aside along with the sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.
Assemble the burrito bowls by dividing the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, tomatoes, red onion, corn, black beans, avocado, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve with a side of tortilla chips for added crunch. Enjoy your homemade Soy-Free Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl!
