Instructions
Cook the BBQ Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper then cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes per side until cooked through. Brush generously with BBQ sauce in the final 2 minutes of cooking.
Rest and Slice the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute so the chicken stays moist.
Warm the Toppings
In the same skillet, warm the black beans and corn together over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of cumin and salt to enhance the flavors.
Assemble the Bowls
Divide the rice among four bowls then top with sliced BBQ chicken, the black bean and corn mixture, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add sour cream, salsa, or fresh cilantro as desired before serving.
