Instructions
- Instructions for Preparation
- 1. Cook the Rice
- Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add 1 cup of brown rice with a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes until fluffy.
- 2. Season the Chicken
- While the rice cooks, season the boneless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- 3. Sizzle Time
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
- 4. Sauté the Veggies
- In the same skillet, add diced bell peppers and corn. Sauté them until softened—about 4-5 minutes.
- 5. Assemble Your Bowl
- Begin with a layer of cooked brown rice in your bowl. Top it with sliced chicken, black beans, sautéed veggies, and avocado slices.
- 6. Add Final Touches
- Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over everything! Spoon salsa on top and enjoy your delicious creation!
