Instructions

1. Prepare Chicken and Vegetables:
- Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the bell peppers into thin strips.

2. Cook the Chicken:
- In a microwave-safe dish, mix diced chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap or lid, leaving a small corner open to vent.
- Microwave on high for PT5M (5 minutes), stirring halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

3. Cook Brown Rice:
- Place 1 cup of brown rice in a large microwave-safe bowl with 2 cups of water.
- Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a lid with a small hole for venting.
- Microwave on high for PT12M (12 minutes), or until the rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

4. Cook Bell Peppers:
- Add sliced bell peppers to a separate microwave-safe dish and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Cover and microwave on high for PT3M (3 minutes), until tender-crisp.

5. Prepare the Chipotle Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the chipotle chile sauce and hot sauce.

6. Assemble the Bowl:
- In a large serving bowl, layer the cooked brown rice, followed by the cooked chicken and bell peppers.
- Drizzle the chipotle sauce mix over the chicken and peppers.
- Top with shredded cheese, allowing it to slightly melt from the heat of the chicken.
- Add a dollop of guacamole and sour cream on top.

7. Final Touch and Serve:
