Chicken with Black Beans and Rice

I was just dying for something with black beans for dinner tonight. So I whipped up this delicious dish! It’s pretty easy and the results are fantastic!

Chicken with Black Beans and Rice

3 tablespoons olive oil
4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 teaspoons oregano, divided
2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, undrained
Salt & pepper
Pinch chili powder
Juice of 1 lime
3 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups white rice
Chopped green onion

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium high. Add chicken and stir until cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Decrease heat to medium, add 1 teaspoon oregano and 1 teaspoon cumin. Simmer for 1 minute.

Add black beans, remaining spices, and lime juice. Blend and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. While beans are simmering, bring broth to boil in a pan. Add rice. Decrease heat to simmer, cover, and cook 20 minutes until rice is fluffy.

Serve the chicken and black beans over rice. Garnish with green onion. Enjoy!
