Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), sliced

1 onion, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 lime, juiced

1 cup cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (frozen or canned)

Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, avocado, salsa, sour cream

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the chicken is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the veggies are softened and slightly caramelized.

        Combine Chicken and Veggies: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it with the sautéed peppers and onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

          Assemble the Meal Prep Bowls: In each meal prep container, layer the cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice, followed by a quarter of the black beans and corn. Top it with the fajita chicken mixture.

            Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and add slices of avocado, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream before sealing the containers.

              Storage: Allow the meal prep bowls to cool completely before sealing with lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
