Savory Lime Chicken with Beans and Rice

Rice Mixture
1 cup long grain rice (I like a mix of long grain rice and wild rice)
2 cups chicken broth

Chicken Mixture
¼ cup onions, chopped
2 chicken breasts
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 TBSP lime juice (from half a lime)
Salt and pepper

Beans Mixture
1 ½ cups black beans
1 can green chili’s or 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
1 roma tomato, chopped
1 TBSP lime juice (from half a lime)
Salt

Topping
1 Avocado
1 TBSP lime juice (from half a lime)

Over medium heat sauté rice with a small amount of olive oil for 2-4 minutes, add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Cook 20-25 minutes or according to package directions.

While rice is cooking, sauté onions in a medium size skillet or sauté pan, then add chicken. Season with salt and pepper, then cook through. Once chicken is fully cooked, toss in chopped garlic and lime juice.

In a medium sauce pan, heat beans, chili’s (or jalapeno’s), tomato and lime juice. Season with salt if necessary.

To serve, layer each plate with rice, beans, then chicken. Slice an avocado and brush with lime juice. Arrange sliced avocado on top and provide additional limes on the side.
