Before You Start
Pat the chicken dry, trim the green beans, rinse the spinach, dice the bell pepper, mince the garlic, and have the rice warm.
How To Make It
- Season the chicken and sear it in the olive oil over medium high, 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until golden and it reaches 165°F in the center, then set it aside.
- Add the green beans and bell pepper to the pan with a splash of water and cook, 6 to 7 minutes, until the beans are bright and just tender.
- Add the spinach, cumin, and garlic and cook, 2 to 3 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the garlic is fragrant, then finish with lime and cilantro.
- Slice the chicken and serve it with the vegetables over the rice.
Fix It: If the cumin tastes dusty, give it that full minute in the hot pan; toasting the spice wakes up its flavor.
Air Fryer
- Heat the air fryer to 380F.
- Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
- Cook for about 22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
- Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
