Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice. Cube the chicken. Toss with chili powder, cumin, and salt.

  2. 2

    Sear chicken in oil, 6–7 minutes, until cooked through. Rest.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, soften pepper and onion 4 minutes. Stir in beans to heat.

  4. 4

    Bowl: rice, chicken, peppers, beans, salsa, a heavy spoon of yogurt instead of sour cream.

Makes two lunches. The yogurt swap saves a surprising amount of fat without losing the cool contrast.
