instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken: combine chicken and all marinade ingredients in a ziploc bag or small tupperware and toss to evenly coat the chicken. Let sit for at least 30 mins.
- Get your rice cooking.
- While the rice cooks, prep the black bean and corn salsa– its as easy as combining the ingredients as you can see from the recipe.
- When the rice has finished cooking, add the chopped cilantro and lime juice and fluff it up.
- To cook the chicken, simply dump marinade contents into a pan and cook until all pieces have reached an internal temp of 165 F.
- To make the sauce, add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.
- Plate (or tupp) with your toppings as desired!!
