Instructions
1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water. Bring water (or broth) to a boil in a pot, add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat, cover, and cook according to the package instructions (approximately 20-25 minutes for brown rice). Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in lime juice and cilantro.
2
In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken meat with the marinade. For best results, let it sit for 10 minutes.
3
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until it has a beautiful golden-brown color and is fully cooked. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips or cubes.
4
In the same skillet where the chicken was cooked, quickly sauté the red bell pepper, onion, and corn (approximately 3-4 minutes) until they are lightly browned but still crunchy.
5
In serving bowls, first layer the lime rice. Add the black beans, sautéed vegetables, and sliced chicken.
6
Top with avocado slices and Greek yogurt. Garnish the dish with an extra slice of lime if desired.
