Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large sweet Vidalia onion diced small
- 1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano regular oregano may be substituted
- 24 ounces salsa verde I used Trader Joe's; see my Vegan Pozole recipe and make the blender portion to make your own
- two 8.5-ounce pounces 4 cups ready rice, cooked according to package directions*
- one 15.5-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed (I used no-salt added)

- salt and pepper optional and to taste
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, onion, and saute over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until onion is beginning to soften.
- Add the chicken and cook until done, about 5 minutes. Stir and flip frequently to ensure even cooking
- Add the garlic, evenly sprinkle the cumin, Mexican oregano, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir nearly continuously.
- Add the salsa verde, rice, black beans, and stir to combine.
- Add the lime juice, cilantro, optional salt and pepper, stir to combine, and taste. If necessary, add additional salt, pepper, cumin, lime juice, etc.as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- *I use Uncle Ben's Ready Rice with Black Beans and Lime Cilantro flavor. Use your favorite flavor of ready rice or use cooked/leftover rice.
- Storage: Recipe will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
