Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup long grain brown rice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced small
1/2 jalapeno, minced
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
0.5 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
cumin
granulated garlic
onion powder
salt
cracked black pepper
olive oil flavored cooking spray
1/2 avocado, diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half, lengthwise
2 lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil (about 4 quarts). Add rice and boil for 30-40 minutes, or until rice is tender. Drain.
  • While rice is cooking, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly season both sides of each chicken breast with cumin, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Coat inside of pan with cooking spray and cook chicken about 3 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center. Remove to a plate and cover with foil.
  • In the same skillet (on medium heat) add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add onion and jalapeño; cook for 1-2 minutes, or until onions are soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add beans and cook for 1 minute, or until heated through. Mix the onion and bean mixture with the cooked/drained rice and cilantro. Divide mixture evenly among 2 bowls.
  • Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. In each bowl add half of the chicken, half of the avocado, half of the tomatoes, and 1 lime wedge. Squeeze lime wedge over each rice bowl.

  • Cook the rice. Combine 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. When it does, turn down the heat to minimum, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed. When ready, fluff the rice using a fork and set aside.
  • Preparing the Chicken. In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1/3 cup olive oil, the juice and zest of a lime, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, and 1 tsp chili powder. Then, cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and incorporate them into the marinade, slowly flipping and turning them until evenly coated. (Note: This step could be done up to 24 hours ahead of time to allow the chicken to marinate.) Arrange the chicken cubes evenly on one side of the baking sheet when ready to bake.
  • Peppers and Onions. Slice the bell peppers and onion and place them on the other side of the baking sheet. Then, pour 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp taco seasoning on top of them and carefully flip and turn them until evenly coated.
