Southwestern Style Chicken with Black Beans


Lemon (or Lime) pepper chicken paired with jalapeno black beans and 3 pepper cheese gives this dish a southwestern flare.

SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 50 Minutes
COOK TIME: 10 Minutes

Ingredients

16 to 20 oz. Chicken, seasoned with lemon or lime and cracked pepper.
1 can Black Beans with Jalapeno and lime
8 oz. 3 Pepper Cheese, shredded
Cilantro
Lime

Directions

	Prepping Chicken: Put the juice of two limes or lemons (about 1/4 cup) and 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp. cracked or coarsely ground black pepper in a ziptop bag with the boneless, skinless chicken. Move ingredients around inside the bag and marinate for 45 minutes to an hour. Skip a step: use pre-seasoned chicken breasts and thaw.

	Grilling Chicken: Grill chicken breasts for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked; the meat should be solid white throughout and the internal temperature will read 165 degrees F.

	While Chicken is Grilling:: Heat Beans as directed on package and shred cheese, if necessary. Serve grilled chicken with beans and fresh fruit. Garnish with shredded cheese. Cilantro and lime are also great.
