Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cauliflower rice fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb 450 g boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt for sauce

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers slightly
  2. Season the chicken breast evenly with chipotle chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, pressing spices gently into the surface
  3. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked inside, about 5–6 minutes per side, releasing a smoky aroma
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest briefly before slicing into thin strips
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté cauliflower rice, stirring frequently until tender and slightly fluffy with no excess moisture
  6. Warm the black beans and corn in a separate pan or microwave until heated through
  7. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt until smooth and creamy with a tangy scent
  8. Assemble the bowl by layering cauliflower rice at the base, followed by sliced chicken, beans, corn, tomatoes, and red onion
  9. Top with shredded lettuce and sprinkle fresh cilantro for a burst of color and freshness
  10. Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the bowl just before serving for a creamy finish
