Instructions
In a freezer size zip-close bag, combine the chicken and chicken marinade ingredients (except for cooking spray). Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
In a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat, cook the chicken 5-7 minutes on both sides, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let the chicken cool for 5 minutes before slicing it.
Lower the heat on the skillet to medium-low heat, and add 1 tablespoon water and fajita veggies in the skillet. Mix veggies in water, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. Cook veggies 3-4 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, cook rice according to the directions on the package. Transfer rice to a medium bowl. Mix in the remaining rice ingredients. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the Greek yogurt. Set aside.
In 6 serving bowls, arrange approximately 2 ounces chicken, 1/3 cup rice, 1/3 cup black beans, 1/3 cup corn, 1/6 of the avocado, 1/6 of the fajita veggies, 2 tablespoons salsa, and 1 tablespoon sour cream mixture.
