Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, plus 2 tbsp sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
2 cups cooked basmati or long-grain rice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 can black beans, rinsed and heated
1 cup corn kernels
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Blend the red onion, garlic, chipotle, adobo sauce, olive oil, cumin, and oregano until smooth to create the marinade.
Coat the chicken in the marinade and let sit for 30 minutes.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly charred, then dice.
In a bowl, toss the cooked rice with cilantro and lime juice until well combined.
Prepare the corn salsa by mixing corn, diced pepper, and diced red onion in a small bowl.
Assemble your bowl by layering the rice, black beans, chicken, and top with the corn salsa.
Serve warm or chilled as desired.

Notes

The flavors improve after resting in the refrigerator, making this perfect for meal prep. Customize with avocado, shredded lettuce, or a dollop of Greek yogurt as a healthy sour cream substitute.
