Ingredients
2 cups shredded chicken breast (poached or rotisserie)
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
0.5 cup corn kernels
0.25 cup chunky salsa
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Place the cooked rice in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 90 seconds until steaming.
Warm the shredded chicken in a small skillet over medium heat with one tablespoon of water to maintain moisture.
Heat the black beans and corn separately or together until warmed through.
Layer the warm rice at the base of your serving bowl.
Top with portions of black beans, corn, and the shredded chicken.
Finish by spooning the salsa over the top to add acidity and moisture.
Notes
Ensure that the rice and chicken are heated evenly to maintain the best texture. You can season the chicken with a pinch of cumin or chili powder if desired for extra flavor. Store leftover components in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
