Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Start by cooking your rice according to your preference. Typically, this takes about 11-13 minutes, depending on the type of rice you use. Follow the package instructions for best results.
- Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat a pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray (a great low-calorie option). Season the chicken with your preferred spices – paprika powder, salt, pepper, and chili flakes work wonderfully. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Prep the Toppings: As the rice and chicken cook, prepare the toppings. Dice the cucumber, tomato, and half an avocado. Keep your kidney beans, corn, jalapeños, and grated cheese ready
- Check the Chicken: Ensure your chicken is thoroughly cooked before removing it from the heat. (No one likes the idea of undercooked chicken!) Take your time to double-check, especially if you're like me and prefer it well-done.
- Assemble the Bowl: Once the rice is done, drain it and place it into your favorite bowl. Add the kidney beans to the rice and mix well. Then, layer on your toppings: cucumber, tomato, avocado, jalapeños, and corn. Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and finish with a drizzle of green salsa.
