Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 680 g of chicken breast into thin strips, about 0.635 cm thick.
  2. 2Slice the 2 medium bell peppers and the 1 medium onion into thin strips, about 0.635 cm thick.
  3. 3Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat, around 190°C.
  4. 4Add the cut chicken breast strips to the hot skillet. Sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
  5. 5Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the chicken. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 7-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly browned.
  6. 6While the chicken and vegetables cook, combine the 3 cups of cooked white rice, the 0.25 cup of chopped cilantro, and the 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine.
  7. 7Drain and rinse the 1 can of black beans and the 1 can of corn.
  8. 8Slice the 1 medium avocado.
  9. 9To assemble the bowls, place a portion of the cilantro-lime rice in each of the 4 bowls. Top with the chicken and vegetable mixture, followed by the black beans, corn, and avocado slices.
