Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cook Rice and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Cook Rice

    In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of white rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Add sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 5

    Add Black Beans

    Stir in the black beans to the skillet with peppers and onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Grill Chicken and Prepare Glaze

  1. 6

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 7

    Make Chili Cilantro Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix chopped cilantro, minced chili, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, and black beans. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top.

  2. 9

    Add Toppings

    Top with diced avocado and drizzle with the chili cilantro glaze. Serve immediately.
