Grilled Chicken Bowl with Mashed Potatoes & Black Beans – A Flavorful, Comforting Meal

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:

In a large pot, bring the peeled and cubed potatoes to a boil in salted water. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Bowl:

In a bowl, add a generous portion of mashed potatoes as the base.
Top with black beans and sliced grilled chicken.
Garnish with chopped chives for a fresh, vibrant touch.
