Follow these steps to create your Healthy Chicken Rice Bowl with Street Corn:
1. Prepare Rice: Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.
2. Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breast with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
3. Prepare Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the street corn and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften. If using frozen corn, cook until heated through.
4. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, followed by sliced chicken, black beans, sautéed street corn, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.
5. Add Avocado: Top each bowl with avocado slices for added creaminess.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Mix everything together before eating to enjoy all the flavors combined.
