Dice the boneless skinless chicken into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 1.5 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 2 teaspoons chili powder to make the marinade.

Combine the chicken with the marinade in a large Ziploc bag and mix well to ensure all chicken is coated.

Refrigerate the marinated chicken for at least 30 minutes.

Cook 2 cups of Uncle Ben's 20-minute brown rice according to package instructions.

Spray a regular-sized pan with Pam coconut oil spray and cook the marinated chicken until the juices run clear.

Chop 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro.

Once the rice is cooked, mix it in a bowl with the chopped cilantro, 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

Open and drain/rinse the cans of black beans and corn, then place them in a bowl for easy access.

Using a food scale, measure out 100 grams of brown rice, 150 grams of chicken, 50 grams of corn, and 50 grams of black beans into each meal prep container.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of salsa to each bowl, distributing it over the chicken and rice.
