Instructions

Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. In a pot, combine with 2.25 cups water and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes.
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear chicken until golden brown on both sides.
Pour BBQ sauce into the skillet with chicken; cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until coated.
In another skillet, sauté corn over medium-high heat until slightly roasted (about 5-7 minutes).
Assemble bowls with rice as the base, topped with BBQ chicken, roasted corn, black beans, avocado slices, red onion, and cilantro.
