Description

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chipotle sauce, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. In bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, black beans, corn, sliced chicken, avocado, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese.
  4. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add lime juice to the chicken marinade.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences, such as adding sour cream or jalapeños.
  • This bowl is great for meal prep! Store the ingredients separately and assemble when ready to eat.
