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.
