Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup cooked brown rice (or quinoa)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn, fresh or frozen

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup red onion, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, salsa, tortilla strips

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Base: While the chicken is cooking, start assembling your burrito bowls. In a bowl, add a layer of cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base.

        Add Beans and Corn: On top of the rice, evenly distribute the black beans and corn.

          Chop and Layer: Dice the cooked chicken and layer it over the beans and corn. Add diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced red onion on top.

            Finish with Freshness: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the bowls, then drizzle lime juice for a zesty finish.

              Serve: Top each bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and any optional toppings like shredded cheese, salsa, or tortilla strips for added crunch.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the bowls in colorful dishes and garnish with a lime wedge and additional cilantro for that extra pop of color. Arrange the ingredients artfully to create a visually appealing dish that showcases the vibrant colors of the fresh ingredients.
