1-First Step: Start by cooking the rice according to the package instructions, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. This gives you a base for your bowl and lets you prepare other parts while it simmers.

2-Second Step: In a shallow bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest, and 1 clove of finely minced garlic. This creates the marinade that makes the chicken shine with flavor.

3-Third Step: Pound the 1 halved chicken breast to an even thickness, then place it in the marinade mixture. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors, or prepare it ahead if you’re planning meals in advance. This step ensures the chicken cooks evenly and stays juicy.

4-Fourth Step: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken in a single layer for 3-4 minutes per side until it’s browned and caramelized. Add the remaining marinade to the skillet, then reduce the heat to let it thicken into a syrupy sauce while the chicken finishes cooking through.

5-Fifth Step: Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet, slice it into bite-sized pieces, and coat it with the sauce. For the salsa, mix 15 ounces of drained sweet corn, 1/2 cup finely diced red onion, 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, the juice of 1 large lime, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl.

6-Sixth Step: Assemble your bowls by layering 1 1/2 cups of prepared rice and thinly sliced romaine lettuce at the bottom. Top with the sliced chicken, corn salsa, quartered cherry tomatoes, sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese or your chosen alternative, and lime wedges for a fresh squeeze.
