1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with the BBQ sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Cook the Grains: While the chicken is grilling, prepare the rice or quinoa as per package instructions.

Prepare the Bowls: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. In a bowl, layer the cooked grains, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, and avocado.
Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty kick. Enjoy your grilled BBQ chicken zesty bowls!
