Instructions

  4. Prep the toppings such as corn, black beans, and tomatoes.
  5. Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet or on a grill until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Make the optional honey lime drizzle by whisking honey, lime juice, olive oil, and salt together.
  7. Assemble the bowls with rice, chicken, avocado mix, and set toppings.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
