# How to Make It:

02 - In a large bowl, toss chicken pieces with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine and set aside.
04 - Divide coconut rice between four bowls. Top each with spiced chicken, pineapple salsa, black beans, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
