Ingredients
  

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 brown rice (or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option)

2 cups chicken broth or water

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded lettuce

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges for serving

Optional: salsa, sour cream, or your favorite hot sauce for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine brown rice and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

      Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice as the base. Top with sliced chicken, black beans, corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.

          Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped cilantro over the bowls. Serve with lime wedges and additional toppings like salsa or sour cream on the side.

            Enjoy! Mix everything together and savor the flavors of your vibrant and delicious burrito bowl!
