Chicken Del Sol

Chicken Del Sol

Serves about 4, with a lot of leftover rice.

What You Need:

  • Cotija cheese – grated
  • Extra lime (optional)

Chicken:

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 jar of salsa (optional)

Rice:

  • 3c cilantro lime rice. Check out this recipe from SkinnyTaste or regular cooked rice.
  • 1 can corn – drained
  • 1 can black beans – drained
  • 2 jalapenos – finely diced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cilantro – chopped
  • 1-2 limes – juiced (to taste)
  • 3 roma tomatoes – diced
  • 1 red onion – diced
  • 1 garlic clove – minced
  • Salt+Pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp EVOO

Sour Cream

  • 6oz sour cream
  • 1 lime – juiced
  • 1 tbsp cilantro – chopped
  • Salt+Pepper to taste

What You Do:

  • Marinate the chicken with the salsa overnight. This is totally optional, you could just do regular grilled chicken & it will be equally awesome.
  • To grill the chicken I used a small Weber grill on high heat. Cook the chicken 5-8 minuets on each side depending on thickness.
  • In a large pan heat up the olive oil, garlic, & onion. When the onions have become almost transluscent, add the rice.
  • When the rice has gotten warm, combine black beans, corn, jalapeno, onion, tomatoes, & cilantro.
  • Add lime juice & mix thoroughly. Salt & pepper to taste.
  • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, cilantro, lime, & salt+pepper.
  • To serve, add rice on a plate & place a chicken breast on top, drizzle sour cream & cheese on top.
