1Cut the chicken into cubes and marinate in the spices and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil for at least 30 minutes.
2Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions, let it cool for 5-10 minutes, then mix with cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3Finely chop the vegetables. Combine them with the drained and rinsed black beans and corn, cilantro, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4Blend all the southwest dressing ingredients until smooth.
5Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high until it shimmers. Add the chicken and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
