PREPARATION

Toast the rice until it is golden brown as well. Add the water, bouillon, and garlic. Stir together and bring to a boil. Add the chicken on top of the rice and then cover and simmer for 28-30 minutes until the rice is tender.  After the rice is done, stir in the black beans, cilantro and lime juice.
