This recipe combines the tangy flavor of citrus-marinated grilled chicken with a hearty black bean salsa, perfect for a healthy and delicious meal.
Combine the lime juice, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic in a zip-top bag.
Ensure the marinade ingredients are well mixed before adding the chicken.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Clean the grill grates before preheating for better results.
Grill the chicken for 8-10 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, cooked black beans, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently to avoid mashing the beans.
Serve the grilled chicken on a plate with a generous scoop of black bean salsa on the side.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a lime wedge for added flavor.
