Method

Garlic Chicken Breast

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.

Rice

  1. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of rice, 4 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Beans

  1. 4

    Cook the Beans

    In a saucepan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Chop the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the canned black beans and cumin. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Boil in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 6

    Mash and Serve

    Add butter and milk to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
