Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through.
- In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocados with the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup of diced red onion, 1/4 cup of diced tomato, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste to make the guacamole.
- Assemble the Tex-Mex Chicken and Rice Bowls by dividing the cooked rice, seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, and cherry tomatoes among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of guacamole, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
