Instructies

Honey Chipotle Chicken

Whisk together the olive oil, chipotle, adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, cumin, cilantro, salt and pepper in a bowl or glass measuring cup. Add the chicken to a freezer bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let the chicken marinate for at least an hour and up to 4 hours.

Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat (about 400-425° F. on the grill). Oil the grill grates or skillet and add on the chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on the first side and then flip them over and grill until the internal temperature is 165° F.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before dicing or slicing it.

Avocado Corn Salsa

In a bowl add the corn kernels, diced avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir everything together and taste it for seasoning.

Assembling the Bowls

Divide the rice evenly into the bowls. Top the rice with some of the chicken, salsa, and cheese. Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge.
