Instructions
- Place the chicken in a bowl together with the oil, chipotle, lime juice, honey, and seasonings. Rub on all sides to evenly coat with the marinade, then set aside.
- Preheat a heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes, then slice or chop it.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the cauliflower rice. Heat half of the oil in a heavy-bottom skillet and add the corn. Cook undisturbed until it begins to brown. Stir in the remaining oil and the cauliflower rice. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender. Stir in the lime juice and seasonings.
- To assemble your bowls, divide the cauliflower and corn rice. Top with seared chipotle chicken, avocado, jalapeño, and parsley.
💡 Notes & Tips
- Chicken rice bowls are a great make-ahead option! Pack the chicken separately from the corn and rice ingredients in airtight containers and store in the fridge.
- Only chop up enough avocado for what you will be eating. If you do have some leftover, drizzle a bit of lime juice over it before storing.
- The chicken and cauliflower rice with corn will keep for 4 to 5 days, stored in the fridge.
- Choose avocados that are dark green and slightly firm on the outside, but soft when pressed near the stem.
- Let the chicken sear without flipping too often — you want a nice golden crust.
