Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup long-grain rice (uncooked)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sear in the skillet for about 6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and bell peppers for about 5 minutes until tender.
  4. Add black beans and rice to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth while scraping the pan bottom for flavor. Stir well.
