Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 cup corn canned or frozen
  • 1 cup black beans canned, rinsed and drained
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine honey, chipotle sauce, lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and add to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  4. In the same skillet, add corn and black beans, cooking until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, corn, black beans, avocado, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.
  6. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
