Instructions

Creating your Cilantro-Lime Chicken Bowls with Peach Salsa is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine lime juice, chopped cilantro, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Cook Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

3. Prepare Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix together diced peaches, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

4. Prepare Rice and Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice according to package instructions. In the last few minutes, sauté the corn and diced red bell pepper in a little olive oil until soft.

5. Slice Chicken: After the chicken has rested, slice it into strips.

6. Assemble Bowls: In individual serving bowls, layer rice, sautéed corn and peppers, and sliced chicken.

7. Top with Salsa: Generously top each bowl with the fresh peach salsa and any remaining chopped cilantro.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy the incredible flavors of your Cilantro-Lime Chicken Bowls with Peach Salsa!
