Equipment
- 12 inch skillet
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Family Dinners Cilantro Lime Butter or unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons oil (avocado oil or olive oil)
- 1 recipe Family Dinners Chipotle Marinade Click link for recipe. Ingredients include: canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic, cumin, coriander, chili powder, oregano, salt, shallot
- 3 cups Cilantro Lime Rice or any cooked rice
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 avocados
- 1 cans black beans rinsed
- ¼ cup Cilantro Lime Sour Cream or plain sour cream
- 1 lime
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Heat large skillet over medium heat. Pour olive oil in pan to heat.
- While chicken is in the marinating bag, use a meat tenderizer or rolling pin to pound the breast until it is approximately ½" thick. This helps the chicken to cook quickly and evenly and remain juicy.
- Place chicken breasts in skillet. Cook 5-6 minutes on one side, until the bottom side begins to brown. Turn over chicken.
- Cook remaining side for 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°F. Remove from heat.
- Place one tablespoon of Family Dinners Lime Cilantro Butter (or regular salted butter) on top of each chicken breast. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Fill 4 bowls with rice, black beans, salsa, avocado and top with sliced chicken breast and sour cream. Sprinkle with lime and cilantro.
Notes
Do not put your chicken into the skillet until it is fully heated. If you put the chicken into the skillet before the oil and skillet are hot the chicken won't get a great sear.
