Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside. Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a skillet. Use a stove top. Use a spatula.
  • Make the Honey Chipotle Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, honey, and minced chipotle peppers. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and intensify. Use a skillet. Use a spoon.
  • Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss in the honey chipotle sauce until fully coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Coating the chicken ensures every piece is flavorful. Use a skillet. Use a spoon.
  • Assemble the Rice Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the honey chipotle chicken, diced red bell pepper, corn kernels, black beans, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Arrange the ingredients in a visually appealing way. Use bowls. Use a spoon.
  • Finish with Lime Juice: Squeeze lime juice over each bowl and serve immediately. Lime juice adds a bright and refreshing flavor. Use a citrus juicer. Use a lime.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer.
  • Adjust chipotle to taste.
  • Dice avocado last.
  • Rinse black beans.
