Nutrition "Black Bean Rocket Fuel"

New Dish My Girl introduced

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
3 cups whole grain brown rice
1 can black beans

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 chopped garlic cloves
1/3 cup chopped red pepper
1/3 cup chopped yellow pepper
1 carrot thinly sliced
1 cup brocoli in small pieces
1 cup zucchini diced
8 oz sliced mushrooms
3 cups baby spinach

cook the brown rice with water and no butter

heat olive oil and add diced onion, and minced garlic clove over med-high heat for about a minute. Add chicken breast until pan-sear. Add chopped veggies to chicken. Let veggies slightly soften and absorb flavors from the chicken. Add black beans, simmer until beans are warm. Season with you choice of herbs and spices. Remove from heat. Add spinach and cover with brown rice and gently mix together. The spinach will wilt from the heat of the chicken and veggie mixture. Mix the chicken and rice in a large mixing bowl. Package in plastic containers and freeze for leftovers all week long........

Makes about 10-12 servings.......fuel for the whole week....... Good Stuff with lots of enery and antioxidents.

enjoy!

Nice! You've added a whole new twist to the blog...nutritional recipes.
Will have to try this out. Will have to stock up on Beano, but it does sound good.
