Ingredients
  

For the Chili Chicken:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 lime, juiced

For the Bowls:

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (frozen or canned)

1 cup fresh pico de gallo or diced tomatoes

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Additional lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

    Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Prepare the Base: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your bowl base. In each serving bowl, layer ½ cup of cooked brown rice or quinoa as the first layer.

        Layer the Ingredients: Top the rice with black beans, corn, pico de gallo (or tomatoes), cooked chili chicken, avocado slices, and shredded cheese.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick!

            Enjoy! Dig into your hearty and flavorful Chili Chicken Burrito Bowl, and enjoy the burst of Mexican flavors!
