Instructions
- Rinse 1½ cups of long grain white rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions using water or broth. Once done, fluff with a fork and mix in juice from ½ lime, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt.

- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
- While grilling, prepare corn by removing kernels from 2 ears and dice one red bell pepper and half a red onion. Slice grape tomatoes in half and chop jalapenos as desired.
- To assemble each bowl: layer cooked rice at the bottom followed by grilled chicken strips, corn kernels, diced vegetables, avocado slices, salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
