Fajita Chicken with Veggies and Black Bean Brown Rice
Serves 4-6
4 chicken breasts
1 cup basmati brown rice
2 ½ cups water or broth
7 oz black beans
¼ cup chopped scallions
½ red pepper, sliced
½ yellow pepper, sliced
½ orange pepper, sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups snow peas
2 cloves garlic, minced
Fajita Seasoning
To make fajita seasoning, combine equal parts onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.
Heat the grill to medium-high. Combine water and rice in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in scallions and black beans, season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil and season liberally with fajita seasoning. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, in a sauté pan, heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion, peppers, snow peas and garlic. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, until veggies are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve veggies and chicken with black bean brown rice. Top with Green Goddess Salsa, or your favorite fajita toppings.
