List of Ingredients



• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast
  
• 3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  
• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  
• 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
  
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  
• 1 c. water
  
• 1/2 c. red bell pepper, diced
  
• 1 tbsp. red onion, chopped
  
• 1 c. canned black beans, drained
  
• 1/2 c. unsweetened orange juice

• 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions



1. Combine lime juice, vegetable oil, red pepper, and garlic in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag. Add chicken; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
   
2. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan; add bell pepper and onion. Cook 30 seconds; drain. Plunge into ice water; drain well. Set aside.
   
3. In a food processor add beans, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic. Process until smooth. Pour into a saucepan; cook over medium-low heat until heated.
   
4. Remove chicken from bag and grill over medium-hot coals. Cook 8-10 minutes on each side or until chicken is done.
   
5. To serve, divide bean mixture onto each of 4 plates. Place chicken breast on top of sauce; top each with 2 tablespoons bell pepper mixture or a fresh tomato salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
