Cuban Mojito Chicken w/cilantro black bean & corn rice
Why I Love This Recipe
tonight I made dinner at home using a Trader Joe's simmering sauce called "Cuban Mojito." Trader Joe's captured the flavors of a mojito in a simmering sauce. I used this sauce as a marinade rather than a sauce for my chicken to simmer in.
Here's the recipe for my Cuban Mojito Chicken with cilantro black bean & corn rice.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 chicken breasts
1/4 cup of Cuban Mojito simmering sauce
1 tablespoon chopped green chilies
2 cups hot cooked rice
1/4 frozen corn, thawed
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
In a ziploc bag, add chicken breast, simmering sauce and chopped green chilies.
Allow chicken to marinate for overnight.
Grill chicken in a grill pan, grill, George Foreman or panini grill until cooked through.
To make rice, combine hot cooked rice, corn, beans, cilantro and lemon juice.
Toss until fully incorporated.
Serve chicken over a bed of the rice.
