# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken pieces, sliced bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then add chipotle in adobo, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until all components are evenly coated.
03 - Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender with light charring.
04 - While the chicken roasts, rinse the rice under cold running water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
05 - In a bowl, combine diced avocados, diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño if using, lime juice, and salt. Gently toss to combine while preserving the texture of the avocados.
06 - Distribute cooked rice evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted chicken and vegetable mixture, then spoon the avocado salsa over each portion. Garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro as desired.
