Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, and green)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Prepare Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush them with BBQ sauce.
Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and corn, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Add the grilled chicken slices, sautéed vegetables, and an additional drizzle of BBQ sauce on top.
Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with chopped cilantro or green onions before serving.
