Ingredients
  

2 chicken breasts, diced

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

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cooked brown rice (or quinoa)

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen or canned)

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts, seasoning them with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and set aside.

    Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the corn and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

      Combine Ingredients: Stir in the black beans and cooked chicken, mixing well. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through, adjusting seasoning as needed.

        Prepare the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cooked brown rice (or quinoa) as a base. Top it with the chicken and vegetable mixture.

          Add Avocado & Garnish: Gently arrange the diced avocado on top of the chicken bowl. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

            Serve: Enjoy this nutritious and filling chicken bowl warm, perfect for lunch or dinner!
