2. Cooking the Chicken:

- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet.
- Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Tips:

- Preheat and Prep: Make sure to preheat your grill or skillet and spray it with a short spray of cooking oil for an even cook. Prepping all your ingredients before you start cooking will make the process smoother.

- Seasoning: Season the chicken breasts with your favorite spices. A simple mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin can go a long way in enhancing the flavor.

- Chop Uniformly: Chop the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking and a balanced bite in every spoonful.

- Cooking Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

- Assemble with Care: When assembling the bowls, place lettuce at the bottom to create a fresh base. Follow with layers of green pepper, tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Add the sliced chicken on top, and finally, garnish with avocado.

- Storage: Store any leftovers in airtight containers. Keep the ingredients separate, especially the avocado, to maintain freshness. Consume within 3-4 days.

There you have it—a wholesome and flavorful chicken burrito bowl! This recipe is straightforward yet versatile, allowing you to adapt the ingredients to your preferences. Enjoy your meal as-is, or feel free to add your favorite toppings like cheese, salsa, or a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
