Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup brown rice uncooked
  • 2 bell peppers mixed colors
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or lime optional for garnish
  • Avocado slices and shredded cheese optional for topping

Method
 

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by chopping the chicken into bite-sized pieces, dicing the bell peppers and onion, and mincing the garlic.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet along with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally, cooking until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Add Rice & Liquid Ingredients: Stir in uncooked rice, diced tomatoes (with juice), black beans, and a bit of water or broth. Bring everything to a simmer.
  5. Cook Until Tender: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the flavors have blended.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork and top with cilantro or lime juice. Serve with avocado slices or shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute brown rice with white rice or quinoa for a different twist.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to brighten up the dish.
