Ingredients

Servings

1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup canned low sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)

Instructions

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook until they have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes.
Pour 3/4 cup rice in each bowl, top each with 1/4 cup beans and cheese, divide the chicken over the bowls.
Refrigerate up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave about 3 minutes or until heated through.
Add black beans, paprika, cumin and salt; stir to combine and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes.
If eating right away, I like to melt the cheese by putting it in the microwave 30 seconds. Top with scallions.
While that cooks, heat a large skillet over high heat, when hot spray with oil and add the chicken.
Cook until browned and cooked through in the center, about 5 minutes, flipping so it cooks on each side.
Set aside in a medium bowl and toss with the hot sauce.

Notes

These are the meal prep bowls I use.
