Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 bell peppers (any color), diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
- While the chicken bakes, rinse brown rice under cold water. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add rice and a pinch of salt; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes until tender.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced bell peppers in olive oil for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Once everything is cooked, assemble the bowls: start with a layer of brown rice, add shredded chicken, black beans, sautéed peppers, and top with sliced avocado.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and drizzle with salsa before serving.
