Ingredients
- For the Cowboy Caviar:
- 1 black bean 15 oz. can, drained and lightly rinsed
- 1 corn 15.25 oz. can, drained; or substitute fresh corn off the cob (1 ¾ cups
- 1 cup grape tomato halved
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- ½ cup onion red, finely chopped
- ¼ cup lime juice fresh
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cumin ground
- cayenne pepper dash of
- cilantro fresh cilantro and/or diced avocado, for garnish
- avocado fresh cilantro and/or diced avocado, for garnish
- For serving:
- 1 lb. chicken cooked (I like to use grilled chicken, but a store-bought rotisserie chicken or oven baked chicken breasts will also work)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
To Prepare Cowboy Caviar:
- In a large bowl, toss together beans, corn, tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and cayenne until completely combined. Pour dressing over the bean mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the Chicken:
- I like to grill about 1 lb. of boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. To do so, preheat an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan to medium high heat. Rub chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on all sides. Place chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Serve grilled chicken topped with Cowboy Caviar. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado, if desired.
Notes
- Cooking Just for Two? Just cut the ingredients in half and grill less chicken. You can also freeze any leftover chicken for another meal. The extra Cowboy Caviar is delicious added to wraps or as a topper on a salad.
- Want to Prep Ahead? I like to grill chicken ahead of time and enjoy it cold or at room temperature. The Cowboy Caviar can also be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Just give it a good stir right before serving!
- Have Leftovers? Use leftover Cowboy Caviar to top quesadillas; wrap it in a tortilla with shredded cheddar cheese; serve it over grilled seafood; mix it with a green lettuce salad; or serve it on its own with hamburgers and hotdogs!
