Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 pieces bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with half the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the chopped red onion and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the zucchini, grape tomatoes, and black beans to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and chicken broth. Mix everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
