Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Rub the marinade all over the chicken pieces and let sit while prepping the sides.

  3. Step 3

    Boil salted water in a large pot, add potatoes and rice together. Return to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 12 minutes until both are tender.

  4. Step 4

  5. Step 5

    Warm beans in a small pot or microwave, stirring in a pinch of salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Drain potatoes and rice, mash potatoes with a bit of butter and salt until creamy, then plate everything together.
