Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a zesty marinade. Coat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly with the mixture.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  3. While the chicken is grilling, cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, add rinsed black beans and diced bell peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes until the peppers soften.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken into strips. In serving bowls, layer a generous portion of rice, followed by beans, peppers, and chicken.
  6. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and your favorite salsa to finish.

Notes

Allow the chicken to marinate longer for enhanced flavors. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Rinse rice before cooking for better texture. Prepare ingredients ahead of time for convenience.
