Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.25 pounds chicken breast cut into 1/2-inch pieces, thin-sliced, boneless, skinless
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing the Sriracha or Cilantro Lime dressings may be substituted, Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Salad Dressing®
- two 8.8 ounce Spanish rice or about 4 cups cooked rice; white or brown rice may be substituted, divided, packets
- 2 Roma tomato diced small and divided (pico de gallo or red bell pepper may be substituted
- 2 cups black beans divided (from about one 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed, cooked

- 1 avocado peeled, pitted, and sliced thin; divided, ripe, Hass variety

- 4 tablespoons cilantro divided, fresh leaves
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, chicken, evenly season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and lightly golden browned. Stir and flip intermittently to ensure all sides cook evenly. I used thin-sliced chicken breasts which cook quickly. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken.
- Evenly drizzle the salad dressing over the chicken, stir to coat evenly, and cook for about 3 minutes or until dressing has thickened slightly.
- Remove chicken from skillet and equally divide it between 4 bowls.
- To each bowl, add rice, tomatoes, black beans, corn, top with avocado slices, cheese, lime juice, cilantro, and serve immediately.

Notes
