Chicken, rice and beans lunchbox

Time

50 min

Makes

4 lunchboxes

Ingredients

• 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lime
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 2 cups cooked beans with some of their broth
• 4 cups chopped kale or collard greens
• Salt to taste

How to make it

1. Cook the rice your usual way.
2. Season the chicken with the garlic, a squeeze of lime, paprika and salt. Cook it in a hot pan with half the oil for 5 to 6 minutes per side, then slice.
3. Warm the beans with a pinch of salt.
4. Sauté the greens in the same pan with the rest of the oil for 2 minutes.
5. Fill four boxes with chicken, a few spoons of rice, beans and greens. Let them cool and put them in the fridge within two hours.

Tip: Food safety advice is to eat leftovers within two days or freeze them: put two boxes in the freezer for the end of the week.
