One Pan Cilantro-Lime Chicken And Rice With Black Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon canola oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 green onions, chopped (keep lighter and darker portions separate)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons lime zest
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and well drained
2 cups MINUTE White Rice (don't use regular rice!)
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and saute until cooked through, about 6 minutes, adding in lighter portions of the green onions and garlic at last 1 minute of cooking. Stir in broth, green onion greens, green chilies, lime zest, lime juice, black beans and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture to a boil, add rice, fully immerse rice in broth, and allow to boil 20 seconds, then remove from heat and immediately cover with a lid. Let rest 5 - 6 minutes.
If needed, return pan to medium heat and cook and toss 1 minute to allow rice to absorb excess moisture. Remove from heat, toss in cilantro and let rest uncovered 3 minutes.
