Blackened Chicken with Rice & Beans

Step 1

Heat the oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, combine chili-lime seasoning, cumin, a pinch of salt & a pinch of freshly ground pepper.

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel & drizzle with olive oil. Coat the chicken in the seasoning mix & spread evenly. Add the chicken to a sheet tray lined with foil. Roast in the oven at 425°F for 40 min or until cooked through & crispy on top.

Step 3

As the chicken cooks, rinse & small dice the bell peppers.

Step 4

Wash & finely chop the cilantro.

Step 5

Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced peppers & sauté for 3-4 min until softened & slightly browned around the edges. Remove from the heat.

Step 6

In the final 10 min of cooking the chicken, heat the rice according to package instructions. In a bowl, combine the rice, drained & rinsed black beans, cooked peppers & cilantro. Add the juice of 1/2 a lime per serving. Mix it all together, adding salt & pepper to taste!

Remove the chicken from the oven & serve over the rice mix with an extra squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy!
