Instructions
For the chicken:
- First, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken breast to the pan and cook over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on each side, making sure chicken registers 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer.
- Let cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Slice chicken and set aside.
- Meanwhile, to a large bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients, then add the sliced chicken, tossing to coat.
For the Spanish rice:
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt together olive oil and butter. Add rice and stir to coat with oil/butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 to 3 minutes, until rice is toasted.
- Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, oregano, and diced tomatoes (if using). Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir well, reduce heat to low, place lid on pot, and cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes If rice is not quite tender or liquid is not absorbed after 20 minutes, replace lid and cook for 2 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from heat, leave covered, and allow to rest for a few minutes. Note: Use the recommended about of liquid (broth and tomato sauce) for the rice as instructed on package.
- Stir in the black beans and red onion, mixing thoroughly.
For the bowls:
- Place Spanish rice in the bowl first, top with the sliced chicken. Garnish with tomatoes and avocados.
