  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 3 cups cooked white or brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 1/4 pounds NatureRaised Farms Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • the juice of 1 lime
  • ⅓ cup lime juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 15- ounce can of black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 avocado thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To prepare the marinade, pour the lime juice, olive oil and water into a large resealable bag. Add the garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder and chili powder.
  2. Seal bag and shake to combine. Add the chicken to the bag of marinade, seal and place in fridge - marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill, grill pan or skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  4. Chop the cooked chicken into bite sized pieces.
  5. Place the rice or quinoa in a large bowl; add the cilantro, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste; toss to coat the rice evenly.
  6. Divide the rice between 4 bowls. Arrange the chicken, beans, salsa, avocado, sour cream and lettuce on top of the rice. Serve immediately.
