1/2 cup chipotle sauce
1 bell pepper (sliced)
1/2 cup corn (canned or fresh)
1 ripe avocado (diced)
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Marinate chicken: In a bowl, combine chipotle sauce with lime juice and garlic powder. Add sliced chicken, ensuring an even coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook brown rice: Rinse rice and cook according to package instructions (about 40-45 minutes).
