I created this colorful side dish after eating something similar at a restaurant. It complements any Tex-Mex meal wonderfully. Sometimes I add cubes of grilled chicken breast to the rice to make it a meal in itself. -Michelle Dennis, Clarks Hill, Indiana

SOUTHWESTERN STYLE BEANS AND RICE WITH CHICKEN



Southwestern Style Beans and Rice With Chicken image

This recipe from a friend calls for either black beans or pinto beans to be used in the mix. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts in place of the whole cut up chicken.

Provided by kitty.rock

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (3 1/2 lb) whole chickens, deboned and cut up
2 cups texmati cooked brown rice
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans or 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed well
1/4 cup virgin olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 medium red pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 medium fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 teaspoon cumin
1 lemon, juice of
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup prepared chicken broth

Steps:

  • NOTE: I used 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt, pepper and garlic powder baked in a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes in place of the whole chicken. I prepared the chicken breasts at the same time I was preparing the beans.
  • If using deboned, cut up chicken, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook an additional 5 minutes. Chicken should be golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan.
  • In the pan in which the chicken cooked, over medium-high heat, add the onion, red pepper, jalapeno, and garlic. Add more oil if necessary. Saute, stirring, 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Do not let the onions brown.
  • Stir in cumin, tomatoes, lemon juice, and beans. Add the browned chicken, mixing with the vegetables. Add the chicken broth and stir well. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Remove cover and cook 10 minutes more, or until chicken is tender.
  • Serve beans and chicken spooned over individual servings of prepared brown rice with a green salad and tortilla chips.
