- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)

- Add chicken to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken 5–6 minutes per side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest before slicing.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the rice, beans, and toppings.
- To assemble, divide rice into bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and desired toppings.
- Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
- Chicken can also be baked or pan-seared if a grill is not available.
- Customize with salsa, hot sauce, or pickled jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Meal prep friendly—store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
