Step-by-Step Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Start by marinating the chicken breast in a bowl with fresh lime juice and your favorite spices. Allow the chicken to soak up the flavors for at least 20 minutes.
- Cook Grains: Prepare your grains as the base for the bowls. Bring water to a boil in a pot, then add quinoa or rice per the package instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes for quinoa and 18-20 minutes for rice.
- Grill Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken breasts, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Prepare Avocado and Corn: Slice avocado and have corn ready. If using fresh corn, grill briefly for added sweetness. For canned corn, drain and rinse.
- Assemble Bowls: Layer ingredients in meal prep containers, starting with quinoa or rice, then grilled chicken, followed by avocado and corn.
- Prepare Dressing: In a jar, combine additional lime juice, fresh cilantro, and seasonings. Shake well to mix.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle dressing over assembled bowls and add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Include lime wedges on the side for a refreshing zing.

Notes
Store assembled bowls in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Keep avocado separate to prevent browning.
