Follow these easy steps to whip up your Chili-Lime Chicken Bowls:
1. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this spice mixture.

5. Slice the Chicken: Once rested, slice the chicken into strips.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In individual bowls, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa, followed by the vegetable mixture and sliced chicken.
