Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb grilled chicken breast, sliced

Base

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice

Vegetables and Beans

  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Salsa, for serving
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Seasonings

  • Taco seasoning (for chicken)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Coat the chicken breasts evenly with taco seasoning to infuse them with bold, southwestern flavors.
  2. Grill the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on a preheated grill and cook until fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness, ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Then slice the chicken into strips.
  3. Prepare the bowl layers: In serving bowls, start layering with cooked brown rice as the base, followed by black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes, and grilled chicken slices.
  4. Add toppings: Top each bowl with guacamole and sour cream, then spoon salsa over the top to your taste.
  5. Garnish and serve: Finish by sprinkling chopped cilantro for fresh herbaceous notes. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn kernels; if frozen, thaw before using.
  • For added heat, use a spicy salsa or add jalapeños.
  • Brown rice can be substituted with white rice or quinoa for variation.
  • Use low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative.
  • Leftover grilled chicken and rice can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
