  • 1½ lbs chicken breast
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1½ cups black beans, rinsed & drained
  • 1½ cups roasted corn (canned or fresh)
  • 8 tbsp pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice)
  • 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Chipotle Chicken Marinade

  • 7 oz chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tsp minced garlic
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ¼ cup diced red onion

Avocado Crema (optional)

  • 3 tbsp Wholly Guacamole
  • 4 tbsp light sour cream

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Blend the Marinade: Add all marinade ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts into two Ziploc bags and divide the marinade evenly. Seal and massage to coat. Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  3. Prep the Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Cook the Rice: Start your rice cooker so the rice finishes around the same time as the chicken.
  5. Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook in two batches for 15 minutes each, shaking halfway. Transfer cooked chicken to a clean bowl.
  6. Prep Bowl Ingredients: Rinse black beans, drain corn, chop pico if making fresh.
  7. Make the Crema: Whisk all crema ingredients together and refrigerate.
  8. Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice among 4 containers. Add chicken, black beans, corn, pico de gallo, and a lime wedge.
  9. Add Crema: Spoon crema into small condiment cups and place inside each bowl.
