Ingredients

  1. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, chipotle, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Add chicken strips to the marinade and let sit for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Rinse rice until water runs clear and cook in water until tender, then stir in fresh cilantro.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken strips until cooked through and slightly charred.

Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can customize the macros by adjusting the amount of rice or avocado. Ensure the chicken thickness is uniform for even cooking.
