One Pot Cilantro Lime Rice With Black Beans Recipe 445

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add red onions and jalapenos saute 3-5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and cumin and saute 30 more seconds (adding more oil beforehand if necessary). Add rice and saute for a few seconds. Add beans, green chilies and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low (dial should be a little above lowest setting) and simmer, covered, for approximately 20 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring at 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in butter to melt (optional) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in lime juice and cilantro.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the stock, cover and bring to a boil.
• Add the salt, rice and beans (including the liquid). Stir just to combine, then cover.
• Turn the heat down as low as it will go, then let simmer, undisturbed, for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 4 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, then garnish with lime or cilantro as you wish.

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil on medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook the chicken thoroughly, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add onion and peppers and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
• Add the chicken broth, lime juice, black beans, tomatoes, rice, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
• Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked through.
• Add chicken back to the pot. Add cilantro and combine.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
