Provided by Ingrid Hoffmann

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (5 to 7-ounce) tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
2 cups jarred or homemade tomato salsa
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups diced fresh pineapple
2 limes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and chicken broth in a pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all of the liquid, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, oil, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, the garlic, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Add the tilapia fillets to the marinade, turning to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Stir together the cooked rice, salsa, beans, pineapple, and remaining 2 tablespoons of the cilantro in a 2 or 3-quart baking dish. Remove the tilapia from the marinade, reserve the marinade, and lay the fish fillets over the rice mixture, overlapping if necessary. Pour the reserved marinade over the fish. Shingle the lime slices over the fish. Bake until the fish flakes easily, is opaque, and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced produce.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to add flavor to the chicken. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as pineapple juice or lime juice, to help tenderize the chicken.
  • Grill or pan-fry the chicken: Grilling or pan-frying the chicken will help to create a nice crispy crust. If you're grilling the chicken, be sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat before adding the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken with a flavorful sauce: The sauce will help to add even more flavor to the chicken. Try serving the chicken with a pineapple sauce, a black bean sauce, or a combination of the two.

Conclusion:

Pineapple and black bean chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, the pineapple is sweet and tangy, and the black beans add a nice savory flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
