Instructions
Creating the Chili-Lime Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. Prepare the Rice Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice as the base. Top with sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, corn, and diced avocado.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges for added zest.
