INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Black Beans
1/2 cup Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tbsp Cilantro (optional)
PREPARATION
Begin by rinsing the chicken breast and patting it dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil for a quick marinade.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with the citrus-garlic marinade. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining marinade if any, then sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In a separate small saucepan, heat the black beans until warmed through over medium heat. Stir occasionally.
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions or reheat pre-cooked rice until warm and fluffy.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of brown rice as the base, top with black beans, and then arrange the pan-seared chicken on top.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
