Ingredients

Instructions

0 of 8 done
  1. For the chicken

  2. Step 1

    Tenderize your chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer or pounder.

  3. Step 2

    In a bowl, place the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and use a fork to crush the chipotle peppers a little bit. Add salt, oregano, cumin, and minced garlic into peppers and sauce. Mix well.

  4. Step 3

    Place all items in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Double bag to avoid leakage if you want. Let chicken marinate for 12-48 hours.

  5. Step 4

    Grilling is the best method of cooking this chicken. Let some sauce drip off before cooking on a hot grill for 30-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

  6. For the zucchini

  7. Step 5

    Mix oregano, salt and oil in a small bowl. Drizzle or use a pastry brush to cover all spears with oil and spices.

  8. Step 6

    Grill zucchini for about 3 minutes on each side, or until tender with grill marks.

  9. For the black beans

  10. Step 7

    In a small sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, pepper, garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the onions are translucent.

  11. Step 8

    Add black beans, cumin and cayenne pepper. Stir and let simmer for 6-7 minutes.

Hi, I’m Danielle! My passion for meal planning came from a desire to save money and reduce food waste, and I want to share it with you! Besides cooking and photography, I absolutely love my cats & chicken (yes, just one!), growing food in my yard, and hot sandwiches!
