Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers, diced red, yellow, or green
  • 1 medium Red Onion, diced
  • 1 cup Corn fresh or canned
  • 1 cup Black Beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 ripe Avocado, diced
  • 1 Lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by dicing the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and avocado.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Stir in the bell peppers, corn, and onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  4. Build your bowl by serving the chicken and veggie mixture over a base of quinoa or rice, topped with diced avocado and fresh cilantro.
  5. Drizzle with lime juice before serving for a refreshing finish.

Notes

For a tangy twist, substitute lemon with lime. Consider using quinoa instead of rice as a base for added nutritional content. Meal prepping is easy with this dish, as it can be stored in airtight containers for up to four days.
