Cuban Chicken & Black Bean Rice Bowls

Surprised me how good this was.

Love this recipe. Super easy to make. I seared the chicken first then roasted it to make it super crispy. Love the salsa too.

I used cauliflower rice to cut down on carbs. Was delicious!

I just did regular black beans and bough mango Pico de gallo to keep it simple.

Thought the chicken would be spicier, so probably I will add a little more chili powder next time... But otherwise it was very good!

It was way too many steps and way too much GARLIC!! The garlic overpowered the meal. I'm not making this again. 👎

We’ve made this recipe a lot and tonight it came out the best ever with the following mods: Added about 3 tbs extra oj to the marinade. Skipped zest in rice. Subbed 1 shallot for 1/2 yellow onion in the rice. Subbed onion powder in the beans and also added veggie broth to the beans. Tossed sliced plantains in olive oil, salt and pepper and air fried until crispy on each side. Amazing 🤤

This is delicious! The rice did require more liquid (we used brown rice) but otherwise perfect.

A little less cumin
