Ingredients

Scale

2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup bell peppers (mixed red and green), chopped
1 medium onion (yellow or white), chopped
1 cup rice or quinoa
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
½ cup salsa (mild or spicy)
1 avocado, sliced
½ cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown and no longer pink inside (6-8 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers; sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic in the last minute of cooking.

To assemble, layer rice or quinoa in bowls, top with sautéed veggies and sliced chicken. Drizzle lime juice over the top and garnish with cilantro, avocado slices, cheese, and salsa.
