Instructions
Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, taco seasoning, Kosher salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine the goodness: Stir in the corn and rinsed black beans, allowing everything to heat through for another few minutes.
Assemble your bowls: Layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base, topping with the chicken and veggie mixture, and then adding fresh diced tomatoes and other toppings.
Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and drizzle with lime juice before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, try marinating the chicken overnight. You can also swap in your favorite beans or proteins.
