Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
2–3 tablespoons avocado oil (may sub other oil), divided
2 ½ teaspoons Chipotle and Roasted Garlic Seasoning (from McCormick)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 red bell peppers (cut into cubes)
2 cloves garlic (pressed through a garlic press)
15-ounce can black beans (drained and rinsed)
¼ cup chicken broth
2 avocados (pits and peeling removed)
1 lime (sliced)
Instructions
-
Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with 1–2 tablespoons of avocado oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and Chipotle and Roasted Garlic Seasoning.
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the seasoned chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Let the chicken rest before slicing into strips.
-
Sauté the Bell Peppers: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and sauté the cubed red bell peppers for 5–7 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
-
Prepare the Black Beans: Add the pressed garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the black beans and chicken broth, and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through and the broth reduces slightly.
-
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the sautéed bell peppers and black beans between 3 bowls. Add sliced chicken on top. Slice the avocados and arrange them in each bowl.
-
Finish with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and garnish with extra lime wedges for added flavor.
-
Serve: Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for meal prep.

Add More Veggies: Consider adding corn, zucchini, or spinach for extra color and nutrition.
Spicy Option: Add chopped jalapeños to the peppers for heat, or drizzle with hot sauce.
Grains Option: Serve over quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice for a hearty meal.
Cheese: Sprinkle some shredded cheese or crumbled feta on top for added creaminess.
