Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, and green)
1 medium onion, sliced
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup BBQ sauce of your choice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Cooked rice or tortillas for serving

Instructions

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let it rest before slicing.
Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions, and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine Ingredients: Add the black beans and BBQ sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook until heated through.
Finish the Dish: Slice the grilled chicken and add it to the skillet, gently stirring to coat it in the BBQ mixture. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined and heated.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot with rice or tortillas.
