TOTAL TIME
1
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2
Add chicken cubes, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the lighter portions of the sliced green onions and minced garlic during the last minute of cooking.
3
Pour in chicken broth, remaining green onions, green chilies, lime zest, lime juice, and drained black beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Bring the mixture to a boil, stir in the uncooked white rice, and ensure it is fully immersed in the broth. Let it boil for 20 seconds, then remove the skillet from heat and cover with a lid.
5
Allow the skillet to rest for 5-6 minutes so the rice can absorb the liquid.
6
If necessary, return the skillet to medium heat and cook while stirring for 1 minute to help rice absorb any remaining moisture.
7
Remove the skillet from heat, toss in the chopped cilantro, and let it rest uncovered for 3 minutes before serving.
