3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium-size red or green bell peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Chopped fresh cilantro
Recipe
Combine dressing, garlic and red pepper in 2-cup glass measure or medium glass bowl.
Place chicken in large glass bowl, pour dressing over chicken, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour*. (Chicken may be marinated overnight.)
Remove chicken from marinade, drain well, discard marinade.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring until chicken is slightly brown, spooning off any excess liquid.
Add bell peppers, onion, oregano, pepper and cumin. Cook, stirring 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Add rice, black beans and tomatoes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more or until thoroughly heated.
Garnish with cilantro, serve immediately.
*Although B.E.A.N. recipes usually call for a specific variety, any canned or dry-packaged bean variety can be easily substituted for another.
