Method
- Cut the chicken into cubes. Add the marinade ingredients including the spices and 1 Tbsp of the olive oil to a medium bowl and add the chicken. Toss until everything is coated. Set aside to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook rice according to the instructions on the package. Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes and then add the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
- Finely chop the bell peppers, roma tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, and jalapeno (if using). Drain and rinse the black beans and corn. In a large bowl, add the chopped vegetables, black beans, corn, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
- To prepare the dressing, add the dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, undisturbed. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165℉ (75°C).
- Assemble the bowls by adding the rice, chicken, romaine lettuce (or greens of choice), and salsa. Top with the Southwest Dressing and any additional toppings.
