Directions:
Prepare all the needed ingredients.
In a large Ziploc bag, insert 3 chicken breasts and marinade with 1 ½ cups of lemon and pepper. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or leave overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add in 15 oz of black beans and 15 oz of corn. Stir both ingredients well and set aside.
Line a baking sheet with foil and add the marinated chicken breasts. Carefully place the chicken in the oven to bake for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked to a minimum temperature of 165F. Then, gently remove the chicken from the oven slice.
In a large bowl, assemble the servings by placing ¼ cup of brown rice, 2 tablespoons of red quinoa, and ¼ cup of the black bean and corn salsa that was set aside.
Top the serving with about 5 slices of chicken and add on 1 tablespoon of tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of salsa verde, 1 tablespoon of feta, 1 tablespoon of avocado, and 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
Serve and savor every delectable bite!
