Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons blackening seasoning
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method

  1. Season the chicken breasts with the blackening seasoning on both sides.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  5. Add the onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
  6. Add the black beans to the skillet and stir to combine.
  7. To assemble the rice bowls, divide the rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken strips and vegetable mixture.
  8. Garnish with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

This recipe can easily be customized by adding additional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or hot sauce. You can also use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice for a healthier option.
