- Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the package directions.
- To make the chipotle yogurt sauce, add the Greek yogurt, chipotle pepper in adobo, adobo sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- To make the guacamole, mash the avocados in a bowl, then stir in the lime juice, diced red onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Assemble the bowls by adding the cooked rice, sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, sautéed peppers and onions, and guacamole. Drizzle generously with the chipotle yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
