Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup brown rice or quinoa

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or water)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (frozen or canned)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 avocado, diced

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional for serving)

Salsa or hot sauce (optional for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for best flavor).

    Cook the Rice or Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the brown rice or quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer according to package instructions (typically about 35-45 minutes). Once cooked, fluff with a fork.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

        Build the Burrito Bowls: In serving bowls, start by adding a generous scoop of the cooked rice or quinoa at the bottom. Layer on the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, grilled chicken, avocado, shredded lettuce, and cheddar cheese.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over each bowl. Serve with lime wedges on the side, and if desired, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, along with salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.
