Grilled Chicken Mexican Rice Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of long-grain white rice
- 1 3/4 cups of chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup of corn kernels
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup of salsa
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush the spice mixture onto the chicken breasts.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- In a large bowl, assemble the rice bowls by dividing the cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with black beans, corn kernels, sliced grilled chicken, avocado, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve the rice bowls with lime wedges for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
