Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   In a bowl or zip-top bag, toss chicken with Tropical Habanero Sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
   

2. Cook the Chicken:
    Grill, pan-sear, or bake chicken until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F). Let rest, then slice.
   

3. Build the Bowl:
    Start with a base of rice, then layer on black beans, cabbage, mango or pineapple, avocado, and sliced chicken.
   

4. Finish & Serve:
   Drizzle with more Tropical Habanero Sauce, squeeze a little lime over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs if using.
   
   

Serve With:

Tortilla chips, a chilled agua fresca, or a scoop of coconut yogurt on the side to balance the heat.
