Equipment

Ingredients

For the chicken:

For the cilantro lime rice:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust as per taste

Everything else:

  • 1 can black bean drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • ¼ cup chipotle aioli

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, and spices (ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper). Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the mixture. Marinate for at least 15 minutes. You can also marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and let it sit for 5 minutes, then chop it into small bite-sized pieces.
  • To prepare cilantro lime rice, take the cooked rice in a bowl and add cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well until the rice is fully coated.
  • Divide the rice into four bowls. Add grilled chicken, black beans, salsa, and lettuce. Drizzle sour cream and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 15-20 minutes. If you are planning ahead, you can marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
  • You can also use rotisserie chicken in this recipe.
  • Customize the toppings as per your preference. For example, you can use pico de Gallo instead of salsa or swap black beans for pinto beans if you prefer.
