Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Chicken breast boneless, skinless, sliced thin
  • 1 cup White rice uncooked
  • 1 can Black beans 15 oz, rinsed and drained
  • 1 Red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 Green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 Yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 Red onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp Fajita seasoning divided
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil divided
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream for the creamy sauce
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cook the white rice according to the package instructions. Warm the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Toss the sliced chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until evenly coated.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beautifully browned and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the red, green, and yellow bell peppers along with the red onion and remaining 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning for 5 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chopped cilantro to create the creamy sauce.
  • Assemble the bowls by layering the cooked white rice, warm black beans, seasoned chicken, and sautéed fajita vegetables. Drizzle generously with the creamy lime sauce and serve immediately.
