1 Tbsp olive oil
2 chicken breasts
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin

1 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup green onions
1/2 cup cheese
1 cup cooked brown rice
Greek yogurt for topping
Cilantro for garnish

Slice chicken breasts in half length wise to give you four thin breasts, this will cook much faster.
Combine chili powder, garlic powder and cumin together. Rub on the chicken breasts.
Heat oil in pan over medium high heat. Cook chicken breasts about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Cut chicken in to bite size pieces, set aside.
Warm black beans on the stove top.
Divide the rice, beans, chicken and remaining ingredients in to 4 bowls. Top with plain Greek yogurt, cheese and cilantro.
