Combine chicken, lime juice, zest, oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Toss well and let it rest to absorb bright flavors.

Place a large skillet on medium heat. Allow it to warm evenly so the chicken sears nicely and cooks safely without sticking.

Add marinated chicken to hot skillet. Cook each side until golden and fully done, with clear juices and tender texture throughout.

Remove chicken from skillet and let it rest briefly. Slice it into strips across the grain to keep pieces juicy and tender.

Fluff cooked rice with a fork in a bowl. Add a squeeze of lime and a little chopped cilantro for fresh aroma.

Heat black beans and corn gently in a small pan. Keep heat low so they stay soft and do not dry out.

Add rice to each serving bowl first. Top with chicken slices, beans, corn, tomatoes, and avocado in neat colorful sections.

Sprinkle extra cilantro over bowls. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top for bright taste and fresh citrus scent in every bite.

Taste your bowl before serving. Add a little more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed for perfect balanced flavor.

Serve bowls right away while chicken is warm. Enjoy the mix of textures, creamy avocado, tender chicken and zesty cilantro lime flavors.
