Cilantro Lime Chicken Dinner

This is a go-to meal for me; in fact, I made it last night! It seems like a lot but is super easy and really has a lot of fresh ingredients.

2 or 3 chicken breast - sliced (like fajita meat)
Cilantro
Lime Juice
Grape tomatoes
1/4 Yellow (or purple) onion
2 Avocados
Rice (I use 2 cups uncooked rice so there is leftover)
Can of black beans
Shredded Cheese
garlic powder
onion powder
cumin
salt/pepper

*Cook the rice normally
*Put all the cilantro in food processor and chop up. Scoop out about 3-4 tablespoons and reserve, leave the rest in processor. Add onion to the processor and chop up to your preference. I like mine minced to almost liquid. Add a handful of grape tomatoes and barely grid up so they are still chunky. Pour the mixture in a bowl and add 1/4 cup of lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Cut your avocados in chunks and stir together. I usually chill this until the rest of dinner is ready.
*With the reserve cilantro put about 1.5 Tablespoons in a bowl with garlic powder, onion powder and some salt and pepper. Then mix and rub on your chicken. Put about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in pan over High/MedHigh heat. Cook for about 2 mins and then squeeze lime juice all over chicken. Cook for about 9-10 mins (I guess it depends on how thin you cut your chicken) or until it's browned and cooked completely.
*Put the can of black beans in a pan and let simmer on MedHigh heat for about 8-10mins. Add cumin, garlic powder, onion power, and salt (I always use coarse salt) for flavor.
*When rice is finished mix the rest of the cilantro with it and serve in a bowl.
You can either make Qdoba style burritos out of all this if you have tortillas or you can put rice in a bowl and add the avocado salsa, cheese, and chicken on top and beans on the side. Really, it all tastes good mixed together so just do what you like! Jeff eats sour cream on everything Mexican so I usually have that on the table too.

Enjoy!
