• 2 cups cooked brown rice (or white rice)
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup salsa (optional)

Instructions

1. 1. Grill the chicken: Heat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and chilli powder. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
2. 2. Prepare the rice and beans: Cook the rice according to package instructions. Heat the black beans in a pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
3. 3. Assemble the bowls: In meal prep containers, layer the rice, black beans, grilled chicken, and sliced avocado. Optionally, drizzle with salsa for extra flavour.
4. 4. Store: Refrigerate for up to 4 days. If storing for more than a day, keep the avocado separate and add it fresh before eating.
