Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 cup cooked rice (or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option)
• 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese
• Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and fresh cilantro, for topping

Instructions:

1. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Cook the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until tender and slightly charred.

4. Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, layer the rice (or cauliflower rice), black beans, corn, and cooked chicken. Top with sautéed peppers and onions, cheese, and your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.

Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions:

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Customization Ideas:

• Vegetarian Version: Skip the chicken and add extra beans or tofu.
• Spicy Version: Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
• Low-Carb Version: Serve over lettuce instead of rice.
