Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice

- 1 19-ounce can black beans, drained
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package directions, replacing 1 cup of water with the coconut milk. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Turn and move to the sides of the skillet.

Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve with the chicken and rice. Upgrade: Brighten the flavor of the coconut rice by stirring in a handful of chopped fresh scallions, chives, or cilantro just before serving.
