BRAZILIAN CHICKEN AND BLACK BEANS AND RICE

Brazilian Chicken and Black Beans and Rice image

Wonderful main dish 'salad' to be served cold, but it's wonderful eaten warm too. A good Mexican rice and fresh cilantro are musts. So easy - this is my favorite thing to eat for any meal! It would be good for a side dish (omitting the chicken in lieu of grilled chicken) or can be adapted for a vegetarian diet.
