1
Debone the chicken thighs roughly, keeping the skin on. Mix with onion, garlic, green onion, jalapeño, cilantro, one can of chipotle peppers, and lime juice. Add salt, taco seasoning, oregano, and cumin. Mix well and let sit for one whole day.
💡 The skin will be used for later frying.
2
Sauté the seasoned chicken with 2 tablespoons of oil in a hot skillet until cooked through.
💡 The chicken can also be cooked on charcoal for extra flavor.
3
Chop unwashed lettuce and wash it four times using a salad spinner to remove excess water.
💡 Washing unwashed lettuce first prevents water from getting trapped in the leaves.
4
In a pot, combine soaked basmati rice, 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon, 2 L of water, and chopped cilantro. Once it reaches a boil, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook for 30 minutes without opening the lid.
💡 The rice was soaked for 1 hour after being washed three times.

5
Season the beans with 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon, onion powder, and garlic powder. Combine with the 4 cans of beans.
💡 The beans are seasoned to add depth.
6
Mix the corn with the 4 cans of corn to prepare the side component.
7
Combine Greek yogurt, chipotle peppers, 1 tablespoon of garlic, and mayonnaise to create the sauce. Season with salt if needed.
💡 This is a high-protein chipotle mayonnaise.
8
Assemble the bowl: 100g rice, 100g beans, 100g pepper medley, 100g corn, 100g lettuce, 316g chicken, and 80g sauce.
💡 These are estimated serving sizes for a single bowl.

Tips

Use a salad spinner to remove excess water from lettuce to help it last longer.
The chicken can be air-fried or pan-fried for a crispy texture.
If you don't have charcoal, you can preheat an oven to 475°F and cook the chicken for 25-30 minutes.
