Cooking Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of long-grain white rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 18-20 minutes until tender and water is absorbed. Fluff rice with a fork and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, the juice of 2 limes, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside about half of the marinade for later.
- Place 1 pound of chicken into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and browned. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
- In the same skillet, add 1 cup of corn and 1 can of drained black beans to the drippings. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through.
- After resting, slice the chicken thinly into strips.
- To assemble, start with a scoop of rice as the base. Layer sliced chicken, followed by corn and black bean mixture, then add diced avocado.
- Drizzle reserved marinade over the bowls and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
