instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Get your rice cooking.
  3. 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.
  4. When the rice has finished cooking, add the chopped cilantro and lime juice and fluff it up.
  5. To cook the chicken, simply dump marinade contents into a pan and cook until all pieces have reached an internal temp of 165 F.
  6. To make the sauce, add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.
  7. Plate (or tupp) with your toppings as desired!!
