Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup mild salsa
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • Lime wedges and fresh cilantro, for serving

Method
 

  1. Toss chicken with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add beans, corn, and salsa. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to combine.
  4. Divide rice among bowls, top with chicken mixture, then add lettuce, cheese, avocado, sour cream, lime, and cilantro.

Notes

If you are packing these for lunch, store the chicken mixture and rice together and keep the fresh toppings separate. A squeeze of lime right before eating wakes everything up.
