Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Instructions

  1. Place the thinly sliced chicken in a bowl. Drizzle with enough olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and a nice amount of fresh chopped parsley. Let sit for 20 minutes.
  2. Fire up the grill and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Set aside.
  3. Dice the avocado and toss with lime juice to coat and sprinkle with a little salt.
  4. Cook the brown rice according to package instructions.
  5. To build the bowls, start with a base of the cooked brown rice.
  6. On top of that sprinkle on some corn, drained canned black beans, and diced tomato.
  7. Once the chicken has rested a few minutes, slice on an angle. Lay the chicken on top of the bowl.
  8. Add a big spoonful of the avocado on top of the chicken.
  9. Add as much store bought salsa on top as you'd like and finish with a big squeeze of lime juice.
