Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • (1 tablespoon) olive oil
  • (1 teaspoon) chili powder
  • (1 teaspoon) cumin
  • (1/2 teaspoons) garlic powder
  • (1/2 teaspoons) onion powder
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1/4 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (1 cup) uncooked brown rice
  • (2 cups) chicken broth
  • (1 cup) canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • (1 cup) corn, frozen or canned
  • (1) medium tomato, diced
  • (1) avocado, diced
  • (1/2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese
  • (1/4 cups) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • (1) lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add 2/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 2/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 2/4 teaspoon salt.

  2. 2

    Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the chicken marinates, rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water and add it to a medium saucepan with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  4. 4

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  5. 5

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it among 4 bowls.

  6. 6

    Top each bowl with sliced chicken, 1 cup black beans, 1 cup corn, diced tomato, diced avocado, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

  7. 7

    Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
