Instructions

Chicken and Veggies

  • Toss the chicken, onions, and pepper with the salt and spices, avocado oil, and lime juice on a sheet pan.
  • Roast for 30 minutes in a preheated 400° oven or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and let chicken cool slightly. About 5 minutes. Slice chicken and toss back onto the sheet pan. Mix into the roasted onions and peppers. Set aside.

Cilantro Lime Rice

  • While the chicken and veggies roast, rinse the rice until the water becomes clear.
  • Bring the rice and 2 cups of fresh water to a boil. Add salt. Reduce heat, cover with a lid, and continue to cook for 20 minutes. Do not peak.
  • After 20 minutes, fluff rice with cilantro and the juice and zest of 1 lime. Set aside.

Avocado Lime Dressing

  • Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a food processor and pulse until you reach your desired consistency.

Build Your Bowl

  • Start with a base of rice, followed by a layer of chicken and veggies. Add black beans.
  • At this point go wild with the toppings. Add a healthy dollop of the dressing and enjoy!
