These Seared Chicken, Onion, Pepper, Black Bean, and Hummus Rice Bowls, are the perfect meal for your family on a busy night. The ingredients are practically in the title, and that is how simple this is. For a little more protein packed action, this meal will do the trick. Seasoned chicken, onion, pepper, and black beans, almost mimicking a fajita bowl, for a dish your family is sure to love. I hope you enjoy it!
First you will want to pat dry and cut up your chicken. Set it into a bowl and season with seasonings of your choice. I used salt, pepper, seasoning salt, and Tajin Chile Lime Seasoning. Put olive oil on a skillet on med-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the way cooked through. About 7 minutes or so.
Take your chicken out of the pan and put on plate to set aside. Add butter into pan and let melt. Add your onion and pepper and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add in your rinsed black beans and cook a few minutes more, until they are heated through.
Add Chicken back in. Take your rice and put in a bowl, add your chicken and veggie mix, and a scoop or two of your favorite hummus. We used the Garlic Hummus from ALDI. Enjoy!
