Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Make sure to coat them evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  3. 3

    Add Chipotle Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour the chipotle sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Top with Cheese Dip

    After simmering, pour the cheese dip over the chipotle chicken and let it melt slightly for about 2 minutes.

Preparing the Sides

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 6

    Heat the Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Meal

    On a serving plate, place a portion of the rice, black beans, and warm tortillas. Top with the chipotle chicken covered in cheese dip. Serve immediately.
