Time: 35 minutes

For the chicken marinade

2 boneless chicken breasts

1/4 cup chopped coriander

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 garlic cloves minced

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

For the beans and the rice

2 cup cooked rice

For the mango and avocado salsa

1 cup chopped mango

1/2 cup avocado chopped

1-2 tbs coriander chopped

1 red chilli chopped

1 tbs lemon juice

2 tbs chopped onions

Method

Mix the ingredients well and marinate the chicken breasts for at least 10 minutes. If you are marinating overnight it is better. Grill it on high heat till cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. This can be done while cooking the rice. 

 

For the rice, heat the oil in a pan add the beans and rice. Let it heat through then add the coriander and the coconut milk.

For the salsa, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and adjust the seasoning. Keep it refrigerated or at room temperature. ( leftover can be eaten as a salad, just add lettuce to it )

Serve the rice on the plate, top with grilled chicken and the salsa.
