MexicanChickenRice BowlGluten-Free

Ingredients

  • 600 g boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 300 g long-grain rice
  • 400 g black beans
  • 200 g corn, frozen or roasted
  • 2 large avocados
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 2 large limes
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste - salt
  • to taste - pepper

Instructions

1

Start by preparing the rice. Rinse the 300g of long-grain rice under cold water. Bring 600ml of water to a boil in a pot, add the rice with a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

2

While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken. Cut the 600g chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

3

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for about 6-8 minutes until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4

In the same pan, add another 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

5

Stir in the 400g black beans (drained and rinsed) and 200g corn. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Prepare the avocado-tomato salsa by dicing 2 avocados and 2 medium tomatoes. Combine them in a bowl with chopped cilantro (reserve some for garnish), juice from 1 lime, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

7

Juice the remaining lime and stir it into the cooked rice along with some chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnish. Mix well to create the cilantro-lime rice.

8

Assemble the bowls by dividing the cilantro-lime rice among serving bowls. Top with the cooked chicken, black bean and corn mixture, and avocado-tomato salsa. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
