INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.5 cup black beans

1 tsp olive oil

0.5 cup red bell pepper

0.25 cup red onion

1 tbsp lime juice

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp ground cumin

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp fresh cilantro

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate to rest for 5 minutes.

• 5

  In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell peppers and red onion, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.

• 6

  Stir in the rinsed black beans, smoked paprika, and ground cumin, cooking for another 2 minutes until the beans are heated through.

• 7

  Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

• 8

  Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and serve it over the smoky bean and pepper mixture, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
