Description
A delicious and hearty bowl filled with marinated chicken, black beans, corn, and a creamy chipotle sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can black beans
- 2 cups fresh corn off the cob or frozen/canned corn
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 cups rice or quinoa
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of chipotle in adobo sauce. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if you have the time.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the black beans: In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat. If you like, you can add a pinch of cumin and salt for extra flavor. Heat them until warmed through.
- Cook the corn: If you’re using fresh corn, cook it in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes. If using frozen corn, just heat it in a skillet until warmed. Canned corn can be drained and added directly to the bowl.
- Make the creamy sauce: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, the juice of one lime, and another tablespoon of chipotle in adobo sauce (adjust to taste). Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the bowl: In each serving bowl, start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa. Top with sliced chicken, black beans, corn, and drizzle generously with the creamy sauce. You can also add toppings like diced avocado, chopped cilantro, or salsa if you like.
Notes
- If using frozen corn, ensure it’s fully thawed before adding to the bowl.
- This dish can be customized with various toppings such as diced avocado or chopped cilantro.
