Spicy Chicken & Rice Burrito Bowls

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

3.Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

4.Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

5.Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

6.While the chicken is baking, rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

7.In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8.Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

9.To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the cooked brown rice among four serving bowls. Top each with sliced chicken, the black bean and corn salsa, and avocado slices.

10.Serve immediately or store in airtight containers for meal prep.
