- 1 tsp.
cumin
- 1 tsp.
chili powder
- 1 tsp.
dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp.
garlic powder
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- 4
boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 1 3/4
instant rice
- 1 3/4 cups
low-sodium chicken broth (or water)
Zest of 1 lime
- 1
(15-oz.) can black beans, drained
- 1 cup

Chopped cilantro, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving, optional

Directions
- Step 1In a large bowl, combine salsa verde, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic. Add chicken and toss until covered. Marinate for 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Step 2Heat grill (or grill pan). Cut 8 large sheets of foil, then double them up on top of one another to make 4 thick pieces. Spray generously with cooking spray.
- Step 3 In a medium bowl, combine instant rice and broth and let stand for about 5 minutes, or until most of liquid is absorbed. Stir in lime juice and zest, then divide mixture between foil packets. Top rice with black beans.
- Step 4 Remove chicken from marinade and season all over with salt and pepper. Place on top of rice and black beans then top with cheese. Fold and seal edges of foil to create a packet, then grill until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes, rotating packets half way through.
- Step 5 Garnish with cilantro and serve with more salsa verde, lime wedges, and hot sauce, if using.
