I got this from a friend at church; I haven't made it yet, but she brought it to a potluck and it was so yummy I had to ask for the recipe. It is credited to The Bean Education & Awareness Network. Prep time includes marinating time. ****update**** I messed up the marinating once I finally made this and left out the garlic and red pepper in the marinade. Instead I put the garlic in while sauteing the chicken and put in the red pepper with all the other spices. This made it pretty spicy, but good!

Time 1h

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (8 ounce) bottle fat-free Italian salad dressing
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium bell peppers, chopped (red or green are fine)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
6 cups cooked rice
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans or 3 cups cooked black beans, rinsed

chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine dressing, garlic and red pepper in a 2 cup glass measure or medium glass bowl. Place chicken in large glass bowl, pour dressing over chicken, cover and marinate at least 30 minutes, but overnight is fine.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, drain well, discard marinade. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add chicken, cook 5-7 minutes, stirring until chicken is slightly brown, spooning off any excess liquid.
  • Add bell peppers, onion, oregano, pepper, and cumin. Cook, stirring, 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Add rice, black beans and tomatoes. Cook 2-3 minutes more or until thoroughly heated.
  • Garnish with cilantro, serve immediately.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This chicken was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best Cuban chicken he's ever had.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this chicken was just the right amount of heat. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
