Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 can black beans
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 piece lime
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning on both sides, then cook in the skillet for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toast the rice for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let the rice cook for 15 minutes, or until tender and fluffy.

Step 3

Drain and rinse the black beans, then stir them into the cooked rice along with the corn kernels and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, mixing everything together until well combined. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 4

Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips. Add the chicken on top of the rice mixture or serve it on the side.

Step 5

Garnish the dish with chopped cilantro, fresh lime wedges for squeezing, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 6

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Mexican Creation!
