Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Sauté the veggies: Add the diced bell peppers and red onion to the skillet, and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine the goodness: Stir in the corn and rinsed black beans, allowing everything to heat through for another few minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
