Ingredients

2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed

4-5 hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

½ cup red onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Avocado slices (optional)

½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

Prep the Chicken: In a large bowl, season the cubed chicken with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced red onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.

Add Remaining Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the roasted hatch green chiles, black beans, corn, and lime juice. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa at the bottom. Top with the chicken and hatch chili mixture.

Add Toppings: Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices (if using), and a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy a bowl packed with flavor and nutrition!
