Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp oil, divided
1 lime, juice
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
2 tbsp honey
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp salt
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn kernels
½ cup pico de gallo
½ cup guacamole
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of oil with the lime juice, chipotle peppers in adobo, honey, garlic, and salt.
Pour the mixture over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Once the chicken has marinated, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Arrange the chicken in the skillet top-side-down. Cook until it begins to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the remaining side until it is golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and chop it up.
Serve immediately over the cooked rice, black beans, corn, guacamole, pico de gallo, and cilantro. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
