Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken:

    2 lbs boneless
  • Coat chicken in olive oil, then rub seasonings evenly on both sides. Let sit while preparing other components.
    2 tbsp olive oil

Cook the Rice & Beans:

  • Cook jasmine rice using your preferred method (I love my rice cooker!). Stir in butter for better texture.
    1 cup jasmine rice, 1 tbsp salted butter
  • Heat black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot (don’t overcook or they’ll get mushy).
    1 can black beans

Make the Tomato Salsa:

  • Dice red onion and mix with 1 tsp salt in a small bowl (this reduces the sharp bite of raw onion).
    ½ medium red onion, 1 tsp salt
  • Dice tomatoes, jalapeños, and garlic and combine with the onion mixture, sugar, and lime juice. Stir well.
    5 medium Roma tomatoes, 2 medium jalapeños, 4 cloves garlic, 1 tsp sugar, Juice of 2 limes

Cook the Chicken:

  • Grill Method: Heat a flat-top grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook 3-4 minutes per side until done.
  • Stovetop Method: Add a drizzle of olive oil to a skillet and sear the chicken on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side.

Assemble & Serve:

  • Dice cooked chicken into ½-inch cubes.
  • Divide rice, beans, chicken, and salsa evenly into meal prep containers.
  • Add lime wedges to each container for fresh juice when serving.
    2 limes
  • Top with cheese, lettuce, and hot sauce after reheating for the full Chipotle-style experience.
