- Rinse 2 cups of long-grain white rice under cold water. Combine with 4 cups of water in a pot, bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, juice of 2 limes, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Place 1.5 pounds of chicken in a resealable bag or dish, pour half marinade over, coat well, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, add 1 cup of corn and 1 can of drained black beans, cooking for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Slice the rested chicken against the grain into thin strips.
- In serving bowls, spoon a layer of cooked rice, top with sliced chicken and the corn-black bean mixture, and add diced avocado.
- Drizzle remaining marinade over the assembled bowls, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes
For best flavor, marinate the chicken longer and add fresh lime just before serving for an extra zing.
