Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Black Beans and Rice
A zesty and wholesome meal featuring tender cilantro-lime marinated chicken served over a bed of black beans and brown rice. This vibrant dish pairs the refreshing tang of lime with the earthiness of black beans and the nutty flavor of brown rice for a balanced, satisfying plate.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Black Beans
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/2 lime (juice)
2 tbsp fresh Cilantro
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, chopped cilantro, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the 4-ounce chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, coating both sides. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, gently warm the black beans and brown rice if needed.
Slice the cooked chicken and serve it over a bed of black beans and rice. Spoon any extra pan juices over the top for added flavor.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired and enjoy your zesty, balanced meal.
