Ingredients




thinly sliced chicken breasts
fresh chopped parsley
cooked brown rice
can of black beans, rinsed & drained
a can of corn
diced fresh tomato
avocado, diced
fresh limes
store bought salsa
olive oil
salt & pepper

Preparation

1 Place the 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 {you can do this on a grill pan of course as well} and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Set aside. 3 I love avocado but they definitely need seasoning. So as soon as you dice them, toss with lime juice to coat {prevents browning} and a little salt. 4 The rest is just assembling. Start with a base of the brown rice. On top of that sprinkle on some corn, black beans and diced tomato. 5 Once the chicken has rested a few minutes, slice on an angle. Lay the chicken on top of the rice and veggies. 6 Add a big spoonful of the avocado on top of the chicken. Add as much salsa overtop as you'd like and finish with a big squeeze of lime juice.
