Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 ripe mangoes, diced

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: sliced radishes and jalapeños for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for the best flavor.

      Cook the Chicken:

        Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard any leftover marinade) and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred. Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

          Prepare the Rice:

            While the chicken is cooking, prepare your jasmine rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.

              Assemble the Bowls:

                In serving bowls, layer the jasmine rice as the base. Top the rice with the sliced chicken, diced mangoes, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, and avocado slices.

                  Garnish and Serve:

                    Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top. For an extra kick, add sliced radishes and jalapeños if desired. Drizzle with more lime juice for added freshness.

                      Enjoy your colorful and vibrant Tropical Mango Chicken Bowls!
