Chicken Marinade

Rice

Pinto Beans

Method

Marinate Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Cook Rice

  1. 3

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 4

    Cook Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Prepare Pinto Beans

  1. 5

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cook Pinto Beans

    Add the canned pinto beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through.

Grill Chicken

  1. 7

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Grill Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
