Cooking Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same pan, add diced bell peppers and corn. Sauté over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until the bell peppers are tender.
Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with black beans and sautéed vegetables. Mix gently to combine.
Distribute the chicken mixture into meal prep containers. Squeeze lime juice over the top and add avocado slices just before serving.
