Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ginger powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ripe mango, diced

1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained

1 red bell pepper, diced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, sliced

Juice of 1 lime

Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)

Sriracha sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

      Prepare the Rice: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

        Assemble the Bowls: In a large bowl, layer the cooked jasmine rice as the base. Top it with the cooked chicken, black beans, diced mango, and red bell pepper.

          Add Fresh Ingredients: Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado.

            Finish with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for a burst of flavor.

              Garnish and Serve: Top with toasted coconut flakes for added crunch and optional Sriracha sauce for a spicy kick. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, tropical flavors!
