Instructions
- Cook rice according to package instructions.
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized chunks and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil.

- Add the diced red bell pepper and fresh corn kernels to the skillet.

- Scoop generous servings of cooked rice into bowls.

Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, keep the chicken and vegetable mixture separate from the rice to maintain texture.
Reheating: To reheat, microwave the chicken and vegetable mixture and the rice separately until warmed through. Alternatively, you can heat them on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water to keep the rice moist.
Serving: Serve the bowls with sliced avocado and a wedge of lime for an extra burst of flavor. You can also offer additional toppings like sour cream or salsa for guests to customize their bowls.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice, garlic, and spices for 30 minutes before cooking. This will enhance the taste and make the chicken even more tender.
