Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 medium saucepan
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 serving bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 bell peppers sliced (1 red, 1 green)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving for added flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  • Top each bowl with shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
