Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups cooked brown rice

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, whisk together honey, minced chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.

        Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

          In a serving bowl, layer the cooked brown rice as the base. Top with black beans, corn, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and slices of grilled chicken.

            Drizzle any leftover marinade over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
