Ingredients

2 cups (473 g) cooked shredded chicken breast
1 teaspoon (2 g) paprika
1 teaspoon (2 g) cumin
1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
1 cup (149 g) cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup (172 g) black beans drained and rinsed
1 cup (154 g) corn drained and rinsed
2 green or red bell peppers chopped
1 avocado sliced
2 cups (94 g) Romaine or mixed lettuce chopped

For the dressing:

2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (0.8 g) fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons (30 ml) water

Instructions

Season the chicken with the paprika, cumin, and salt.
Prepare the bowls by dividing the ingredients evenly among them.
Mix the dressing ingredients in a mini-chopper or blender, until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the bowls and serve.

Notes

Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream to enhance the flavor and texture. If you enjoy a kick of spicy heat, consider adding sliced jalapeños, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
While you can always cook and shred the chicken in advance, purchasing a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket may be even easier as a time-saving option during busy days.
Remember to keep an extra lime wedge on the side if you enjoy an additional zing of citrus in your Southwestern Chicken Bowl.
