Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet
- 1 Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 to 1 ½ pounds chicken breast or chicken thighs sliced into strips
- 2 bell peppers sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
- 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn
- 1 avocado or 1/2 cup guacamole
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- ½ cup salsa
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Place the sliced chicken in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Toss well so every piece is coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil, then cook the sliced peppers and onions until they soften and pick up a little color. Transfer them to a plate.
- In the same skillet, cook the seasoned chicken until it is browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally so the strips cook evenly.
- Divide the rice into serving bowls, then add black beans and corn. Spoon the chicken and vegetables over the top.
- Finish with avocado, salsa, cilantro, and a spoonful of Greek yogurt or sour cream. Serve with extra lime wedges if you like a brighter finish.
Notes
Store the chicken, vegetables, rice, and toppings in separate airtight containers when possible. They will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the chicken, vegetables, and rice in the microwave or in a skillet until hot, then add the fresh toppings just before serving.
