• 0.5 cup red onion (diced)
• 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.5 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced red onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and softened.

Step 4

Add the black beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the chicken broth and lime juice. Let simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked rice and chopped apple, mixing well to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through.

Step 6

Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips and arrange them on top of the rice mixture.

Step 7

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful combination of savory and sweet!
