Red Chile Chicken with Rice and Black Beans

Recipe Added:  11/25/2011
2 Tbsp canola oil
2 B & S chicken breasts, cubed
1 ½ Tbsp chili powder
1 medium onion, diced
1 ½ cups rice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 can black beans, rinsed
3-4 green onions, chopped
Salsa and sour cream for serving
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the diced chicken breast with salt and ½ Tbsp of the chili powder. Place the chicken in the hot oil and brown, stirring until browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.

Add the second Tbsp oil to the pot and add onion and rice. Cook on medium-low, stirring until the rice turns from translucent to opaque. Add the garlic and the remaining 1 Tbsp chili powder. Cook one minute, and then add the broth and 1 tsp salt. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover, and cook for 10 minutes.

Stir in chicken and beans to the pot. Cover and cook on low 10-12 minutes longer. Sprinkle in green onions. When rice is tender, cover pot and remove from heat; let stand 5-10 minutes. Fluff the mixture with a fork and serve with salsa and sour cream.
