Cooking Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: Whisk lime juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breast, coat thoroughly, cover, and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Cook the Grains: Prepare quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes). If using cauliflower rice, sauté in olive oil for 5-7 minutes until tender. Set aside.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Let it rest.
  4. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken against the grain into thin strips.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Layer cooked grains in bowls, top with sliced grilled chicken, corn, and avocado. Add cilantro and drizzle with lime juice.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro, serve immediately.
