Steps(4)
- 1
Season the chicken on all sides with the ranch seasoning mix, and a little bit of salt and pepper. Heat oil in a sauté pan set over medium-high heat.
- 2
Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes on one side without disturbing it, then flip and cook another two minutes. Pour in the broth, cover the pan, and turn heat to medium-low.
- 3
Simmer chicken for about 20 minutes, until cooked through to internal temperature of 165°F, then shred with a fork. Mix with just a little bit of the broth in to moisten, and set aside.

To assemble, divide rice between four bowls and top with an even amount of the chicken, black beans, avocado and cheese. Drizzle each bowl with about 2 tablespoons of Cilantro Lime Ranch and garnish with fresh cilantro, if using. Serve immediately.
