# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a bowl, and mix olive oil, chopped chipotle, adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, powdered garlic, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken into a sealable bag and add the marinade. Work the marinade into the chicken by massaging it. Let it sit for 1-4 hours to soak in the flavors.
02 -
Get your grill or skillet hot at a medium-high temperature (about 400-425°F). Coat it with some oil, put the marinated chicken on, and cook each side for about 5-6 minutes, or till the inside reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice it up.
03 -
In a bowl, combine the corn, avocado chunks, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, plus a bit of salt and pepper. Mix it carefully so it doesn’t mash up the avocado. Taste it and adjust as needed.
04 -
Spoon some rice into your bowls, then add slices of chicken and top it with the avocado corn salsa. Crumble cheese over the top, and finish off with fresh cilantro and lime on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
This hearty bowl takes its cue from Southwest flavors by blending spiced grilled chicken with a refreshing avocado corn salsa.
02 -
Take advantage of meal prep—make the salsa ahead or marinate the chicken early to save time.
