Instructions

Cook the Brown Rice

  • Rinse the brown rice under cold water until it runs clear. Add the rice to a saucepan with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low, and simmer for 22-25 minutes, until tender—fluff with a fork. Squeeze in the lime juice and add the chopped coriander, if using.

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a bowl, add chicken thighs, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, minced garlic and salt and pepper. Mix to combine.

Beans & Corn

  • Rinse and drain black beans and corn. Sauté corn in a pan for 3–5 minutes until lightly browned. Add in the beans and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

Cook the Chicken

  • Place a pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C-167°F). Rest for 5 minutes and slice or dice.

Assemble Bowls

  • In each container, add the cooked lime and coriander brown rice, sliced chicken thigh, black beans and corn, top with salsa of choice and coriander (cilantro). Dig in.
