Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken marinates, cook the rice according to package instructions.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes or until they become tender.
  • Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet with the peppers and onions, mixing well.
  • To assemble the bowls, start with a base of cooked rice, then top with the chicken and vegetable mixture, black beans, corn, cheese, salsa, and sliced avocado.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
