    Forum Description

    Chicken with black beans and yellow rice is one of the easiest weeknight meals that we make at our house. It is great served as a bowl ~ or add your favorite lettuce and serve it as a salad. Below, I will share how easy it is to make the chicken~ and I will also share our favorite mango salsa side dish for something different.Ā  For the rice, cook according to directions. For the black beans, we use Progresso black beans and simply heat in a pan on the stove.

    Quickest Chicken Nuggets

    • 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2- 3 TBSP olive oil
    • salt and pepper to taste
    1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

    2. Place flour in a medium bowl.

    3. Place chicken in bowl with flour and turn to coat the chicken.

    4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    5. Heat olive oil in pan and then add chicken.

    6. Cook chicken for 5-10 mins., turning while cooking to brown meat on each side.

    7. Test center of nuggets for doneness using a meat thermometer or by looking for no pink color or pink juices in the middle.

    Mango Salsa

    • 1 ripe mango
    • 1 lime, juiced
    • 11 oz white shoepeg corn
    • 1 TBSP chopped, fresh cilantro
    • salt and pepper to taste
    1. Peel mango (I use a vegetable peeler) and dice.

    2. Squeeze the juice of a lime into the chopped mango, (being careful to remove any seeds from the lime)

    3. Drain any liquid from corn and add to the mango mixture.

    4. Add the cilantro.

    5. Stir all together. Add a dash of salt and pepper (optional)

    Enjoy!! Cheers, Lydia xo
