Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 cup black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 lime juice

Instructions
- Start by cooking your quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- While the grains cook, shred the cooked chicken if it isn’t already. You can use leftover chicken or even a rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked grains, shredded chicken, black beans, corn, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and cilantro.
- Slice the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant. Squeeze some lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning.
- Toss everything gently to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. You want all the flavors to meld together.
- Top your bowl with sliced avocado and any optional toppings like salsa or Greek yogurt.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, hearty meal!
