Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the marinated chicken on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  3. Warm the black beans in a pot with a pinch of cumin and salt. If using fresh corn, grill it; otherwise, canned corn works well.
  4. In a bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, minced chipotle peppers, garlic powder, and honey until smooth for the creamy sauce.
  5. Assemble your bowl starting with black beans as the base followed by corn and sliced avocado on top of the chicken. Drizzle with creamy sauce and garnish with cilantro.
