    Cilantro Lime Rice

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 cup long grain white rice
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • 3 tablespoons cilantro, roughly chopped
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice

    Salsa

    • 2 cups diced tomatoes
    • 1/2 cup red onion
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/8 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
    • salt and pepper, to taste

    Chicken

    • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
    • 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
    • 1/2 lime
    • 2 tablespoons oil
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon oregano
    • salt and pepper

    Instructions

    Cilantro Lime Rice

    • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan.
      Add rice and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
      Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
    • Stir in chicken broth, cover and simmer until tender about 20 minutes.
    • Fluff with a fork and stir in cilantro and lime juice.

    Salsa

    • Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Chicken

    • Add all of the ingredients including the chicken thighs to a large ziplock bag. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken and marinade for at least and hour or overnight.
    • When you are ready to cook preheat the grill to 400 degrees and spray the grill with non stick cooking spray.
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill flipping halfway until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
    • Allow the chicken to rest on the cutting board before cutting into it, I usually wait 5 minutes.
      Cube the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside.

    Assemble

    • When you are ready to assemble layer the cilantro lime rice, black beans, chicken, salsa and shredded lettuce. Top with any other favorite topping. I like jalapeños and sour cream. Serve immediately or package into airtight container for meal prep.
