Great Recipe - Chicken & Black Beans

My husband and I are eating extremely clean and healthy and we came up with this recipe tonight and it was amazing. He is on the P90X plan so we incorporated all the protein we could in this meal.

There was only 3 of us tonight, but you could alternate for a bigger or smaller family.

3 - 4oz chicken breast (boneless & skinless)
1 can black beans (rinsed & drained)
Pace Thick & Chunky Salsa (2 tbs per chicken breast)
1 - lime

I grilled the chicken breast and put a little lime and dried cilantro on it while it was on the grill.

Once the chicken was off the grill - I put the whole can of black beans in the microwave for about 2 min. in a microwave safe bowl. (I used Bush's brand as it has the most protein)

I spread the beans on the bottom of the plate (approx 3 servings/can) Cut up the chicken breast and put on top of the black beans - then I put more lime juice on top of that. I topped it off with approx 2 - 3 tbs of Pace Chunky Salsa. (It has virtually no calories -10 cal/2 tbs).

As an added side, I took a whole red pepper, cut it up into strips and put it into an aluminum foil pouch and put it on for the last 7 - 8 minutes that the chicken was grilling. This is just enough time to make them a little soft. Can season with whatever you like.

My husband loved this and it gave him a lot of protein because of the black beans and the chicken. You could add a little 2% cheese on top if you wish.

Simple, easy, and the clean up was almost nothing!!!

We figured with the type of salsa we used and the black beans, each serving was around 400 calories. It was delicious!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I did rinse the beans....forgot to put that in there. I need a good recipe for fresh salsa...do you have one???

That sounds really good!!! Thanks for the recipe - it's morning time for me but I think I could eat it again just thinking about it!
