Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the ingredients

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Chop the onion. Mince the garlic. Rinse and drain the black beans. Juice the limes. Chop the cilantro.

2
Cook the chicken

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

3
Add the aromatics and spices

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

4
Add the rice, beans, and broth

Add the rice, black beans, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

5
Add the lime juice and cilantro

Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.

6
Serve and enjoy

Serve the Zesty Lime Chicken, Black Beans, and Rice hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
