Expert Tips

In step 2, cover grill; cook over medium-low heat.
Black beans are loaded with fiber—the soluble kind that helps to lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so you have time to get used to more fiber.
Feel free to take some liberties with this recipe. Use a grill pan to cook the chicken instead of a grill, and add other healthy toppings, such as lettuce and chopped tomatoes.
Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
To broil chicken, set oven control to broil. Spray broiler pan rack with cooking spray. Place chicken on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops 4- to 6-inches from heat, about 12 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
