- For the beans, a small pot, add the oil. Saute the onion, garlic, chipotle, and spices. Stir for a couple of minutes until onions soften a little. Add the beans and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat then simmer for about 15 minutes. Mash a little of the beans for texture. Set aside.
- For the Corn Salsa, place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well. Set aside.
- To cook chicken, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Put all the chicken in one layer, plus the marinade. Broil chicken on for around 12-15 minutes, turning over once, until charred a little and cooked through. Let rest, then slice, keeping the liquid the chicken cooked in. Put the juices and sliced chicken in a bowl or shallow plate.
- Assemble bowls, putting rice, beans, corn salsa, chicken, and desired topping such as guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, green onions, tortilla chips, etc. Enjoy!
