Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups water or chicken broth
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring water or chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 18 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Assemble the Bowls: Fluff the rice with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top each bowl with black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and sliced grilled chicken.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and any other toppings you prefer like salsa, sour cream, or avocado. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can add any additional toppings you like, such as shredded cheese, avocado, or a drizzle of sour cream.
- This recipe is easily customizable; feel free to swap out the beans for pinto or kidney beans.
