Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.

Cooking Rice and Beans

  1. 3

    Cook Rice

    In a medium pot, add 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  2. 4

    Prepare Beans

    In a small pot, heat the black beans over medium heat until warm. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking Plantains

  1. 5

    Fry Sweet Plantains

    Peel and slice the sweet plantains diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 6

    Prepare Vegetables

    Rinse and chop the lettuce, and dice the tomatoes. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh, then slice.

  2. 7

    Assemble Bowl

    In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice as the base. Add the warmed black beans on top. Slice the grilled chicken and place it next to the beans. Add the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, fried plantains, and sliced avocado. Serve immediately.
