  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For reheating, gently warm the bowl in the microwave or oven, being careful not to overcook the avocado.
  • Elevate your bowl with a squeeze of lime juice for extra zing and a sprinkle of cilantro for freshness.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, ensure it's cooked through but still juicy; reduce heat if necessary during cooking.
