1 Cook the Rice
Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the piri piri seasoning.
Bring a medium pot with rice, 1 1/4 cups water, and half the piri piri seasoning (use less if spice-averse; remaining is yours to use as you please!) to a boil.Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.Remove from burner. Stir in 1 Tbsp. softened butter and a pinch of salt until combined. Set aside and cover to keep warm.While rice cooks, continue recipe. -
2 Prepare the Ingredients
Drain and rinse beans in a colander/strainer.
Pat chicken dry and season all over with fiesta seasoning. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor. -

Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
Add chicken to hot pan. Stir occasionally until golden-brown and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes. -
4 Add the Beans and Salsa
