Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Cup Cooked Brown Rice
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1 Small Avocado, sliced
  • 2 Cups Mixed Greens
  • ½ Cup Black Beans
  • ½ Cup Canned corn, drained, or grilled
  • ⅓ Cup Cherry Tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • ½ Red onion, diced
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper, sliced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A small handful of chopped cilantro, plus more to garnish
  • For the Chicken Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon Chili Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • A pinch of salt and pepper, or to taste

Instructions

1. In a Ziploc bag, mix all marinade ingredients until smooth: olive oil, lime juice, paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt and pepper.

2. Add chicken breasts, seal the bag, and shake until chicken is evenly coated.

3. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.

4. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

5. In a small bowl, mix cooked brown rice with lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.

6. To assemble the bowls, add mixed greens at the bottom of each bowl.

7. Top each with sliced grilled chicken.

8. Divide avocado, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, Greek yogurt, and diced red onion evenly between the bowls.

9. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeno pepper.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Chicken: The chicken can be either pan-seared or grilled. Feel free to use boneless chicken thighs or any other protein of your choice.

Corn: If you can use freshly grilled corn it would be even better. But canned or frozen corn will work.

Black or pinto beans work well.

Any rice will work but if looking for a low-carb option, you may use cauliflower rice.
