This vibrant chicken, black beans and rice dish is a brilliant way to elevate simple store-cupboard staples into a nutritious, high-protein meal. The earthy flavours of cumin and coriander provide a warming base for the beans, while the shredded rotisserie chicken offers a convenient and lean source of protein. What truly sets this recipe apart is the crisp apple and lime salsa, which adds a bright, zesty contrast to the savoury components of the dish.

Perfect for busy weeknights or as a healthy post-workout dinner, this recipe is designed for efficiency without compromising on flavour. By mashing some of the black beans into the chicken stock, you create a rich, velvety sauce that coats the brown rice beautifully. Serve this wholesome meal with extra lime wedges for a fresh, homemade dinner that the whole family will enjoy.

How to make Black Beans and Rice With Chicken and Apple Salsa

Combine apple, 1/4 cup coriander, 2 tablespoons onion, and 1 teaspoon lime juice in a small bowl; toss to coat. Set apple salsa aside.

Combine remaining onion, pepper, and oil in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until completely softened, 6-7 minutes. Add garlic and next 3 ingredients; stir constantly for 2 minutes. Stir in broth and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer briskly, mashing some of the beans with the back of a spoon and stirring often, until sauce is thickened, 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired.

Divide rice and beans among plates. Top with some chicken and apple salsa. Garnish with remaining 1/4 cup coriander and lime wedges.
