For the salad: ● 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained and rinsed ● 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed ● 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (more or less to taste) ● 1/2 medium sized red onion (more or less), finely diced ● 1 red bell pepper, diced (optional) ● 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional) ● Juice of 1–2 large limes ● Salt and pepper, to taste ● Garlic powder or garlic salt, to taste For the chicken: ● 1 large chicken breast ● your favorite seasonings ● 1 tbsp olive oil (or as needed) ● about 1/4- 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth Other seasoning ideas: Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, or taco seasoning. Instructions 1. Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thinner pieces. Season both sides with your preferred seasonings. 2. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for approximately 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. 3. Let it steam: Add water or chicken broth to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the chicken finish cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. 4.

Dice the chicken: Once fully cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before dicing it into bite-sized pieces. Return it to the skillet and toss it in the remaining juices for extra flavor. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. 6. Combine everything: In a large bowl, combine the corn, black beans, cilantro, onion, optional vegetables, and chicken. Squeeze in fresh lime juice, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, and toss until everything is well combined. 7. Serve and enjoy!

Pasta Bolognese is one of my favorite pastas! 🍝🇮🇹✨ I linked the food processor/chopper I used in my bio! 🫶🏻 Thank you @Zyliss for making my recipes effortless! INGREDIENTS - Oil - Butter - 3/4 cup carrots, diced - 3/4 cup celery , diced - 1/2 cup onion, diced - 1 garlic clove, minced (optional) - 4oz pancetta (or 2 slices of bacon cut into small pieces) - 1 lb ground pork - 1 lb ground or thinly minced beef - 3 Tbsp tomato paste - 1/4 cup wine (red or white) - 28oz SAN MARZANO tomatoes, crushed - Chicken bouillon (optional - Beef broth ( I use the 14.5 oz Swanson beef broth can) - Parmesan to top DIRECTIONS In a large pot sauté carrots, celery, and onions (sofrito) in oil and butter for about 5 minutes. Move The Sofrito to the side and cook the pancetta. Once the pancetta is nice and fragrant add in the porch and season with salt. Once the pork is 90% cooked add in the beef and seasoned with salt. Seasoning in layers will add further depth to the dish. After all the ingredients are cooked add in the tomato paste. Cook the tomato paste down to caramelize the sugars and illuminate the raw metallic taste. Add in red or white wine and cook it for one or two minutes to cook down the alcohol. Enable crush the tomatoes with your hands and add them to the pot along with the beef broth, salt, and chicken bouillon. Let it simmer on medium low heat for two hours and stir occasionally about every 10 to 15 minutes. Cook your favorite pasta and toss some of the sauce with the pasta and top it off with some Parmesan. Enjoy! ————————————————#bolognese #pastabolognese #zyliss #foodprocessor #foodchopper #pastarecipe #easyrecipe #hosting #dinnerideas #italianfood #comohacerpasta #fy #food #viralvideo #recipes #cena #italy #meatsauce #meatpasta #redsauce #ragu #spagbol #italianrecipes #nonnarecipe #pastatiktok #datenight #italianrecipe #easypastarecipe #pancetta #groundpork #groundbeef #recetasitalianas #comidaitaliana
