In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, toss the diced tomato, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice with a pinch of the salt. Set the salsa and the sliced avocado aside.
Rub the chicken breast evenly with the chili powder and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt.
Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, flip, and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove from the pan and let rest for 3 minutes before slicing. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken rests, stir the black beans, cumin, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of salt into the cooked rice. Cover and let sit for 2 minutes to warm the beans through.
Spoon the rice and bean mixture into a bowl. Arrange the sliced chicken over the top, then garnish with the fresh salsa and avocado slices.
