INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lime Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill (or stovetop grill pan) to medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the quinoa and black beans. In a bowl, gently mix the cooked quinoa with the black beans and a squeeze of lime juice. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Once cooked, slice the grilled chicken and serve it atop the black bean quinoa mixture.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired and enjoy your nutrient-packed meal.
