Instructions

Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice in a bowl. Coat the chicken well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the pineapple salsa by combining diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt in another bowl. Mix well.
Cook the marinated chicken in a hot grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
To assemble your bowls, layer cooked rice as the base followed by black beans and sliced avocado. Place the cooked chicken on top and generously add pineapple salsa.
