Ingredients

1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces)
1.5 cup quick-cooking brown rice
3 cup water
1 can black beans (15 oz can, rinsed and drained)
1 can whole kernel corn (15 oz can, drained)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlow powder
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoon fresh lime juice
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine quick-cooking brown rice, water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork.
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken breast pieces with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, fresh cilantro, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Assemble 6 bowls by layering the cooked brown rice, seared chicken, black beans, and whole kernel corn. Drizzle each portion with the lime cilantro dressing.

Notes

Reheats well in the microwave in 1 to 2 minutes. Store lime dressing separately if you prefer to dress after heating.
