Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 1 cup corn grilled, roasted, or canned
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice for sauce

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken on a grill or skillet until fully cooked and lightly charred. Let rest, then slice.
  3. Warm black beans and season with cumin and salt. Prepare corn (grilled, roasted, or canned).
  4. Make the creamy sauce by whisking sour cream, lime juice, minced chipotle peppers, garlic powder, and honey.
  5. Assemble the bowl with beans, corn, avocado slices, chicken, sauce, and garnish with cilantro.

Notes

- Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt for a healthier sauce option.
