Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Make the pineapple salsa: Mix diced pineapple, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt in another bowl.
Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Assemble the bowl: Start with cooked rice as the base in serving bowls. Add black beans and sliced chicken on top. Spoon generous pineapple salsa over everything and garnish with avocado slices and fresh cilantro.
