- 1/2 of a lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup grilled fresh corn or thawed frozen corn
- 1 avocado peeled and diced
- 1 jalapeño seeds and veins removed, finely diced

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, chipotle, adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in a freezer bag, pour in the marinade, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Marinate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat (about 400-425°F). Oil the grill grates or skillet, then add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side, then flip and grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before dicing or slicing it.
- For the Avocado Corn Salsa, combine corn, avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the rice evenly, top with chicken, salsa, and cheese. Garnish with cilantro and a lime wedge.
