Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder or Tajin
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced
  • 3–4 cups cooked rice
  • 3 cups grilled corn kernels
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Mashed avocado
  • Jalapeños
  • Cilantro
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (for vinaigrette)
  • 1/3 cup salsa verde
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons spicy honey
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped (for vinaigrette)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, combine the olive oil, chicken, paprika, chili powder (or Tajin), cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Set the skillet over high heat. Cook until seared all over and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute before removing everything from the skillet.
  2. In the same skillet, add the onions and cook until fragrant (about 5 minutes). Toss in the bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the peppers are tender (another 5 minutes).
  3. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the peppers and toss everything together to combine.
  4. In a glass jar, combine all vinaigrette ingredients. Season with salt to taste. Shake well until mixed.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture over bowls of rice. Top with shredded lettuce and grilled corn. Sprinkle corn with chili powder or Tajin before drizzling with vinaigrette. Crumble cheese over each bowl followed by avocado slices, jalapeños, and cilantro. Serve with tortillas on the side. Enjoy!
