Ingredients

To whip up a Pollo Tropical-inspired meal at home, you’ll want to grab these ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken, marinated in citrus garlic sauce
  • 2 cups of white rice
  • 1 cup of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup of grilled mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking!

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F.
  2. Take that marinated chicken and place it on the grill. Let it sizzle for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. Flip it halfway through to get that good char on both sides.
  3. While the chicken is grilling, bring a pot of water to a boil and add in your white rice. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 20 minutes.
  4. For the black beans, you can heat them on the stove in a small pot. Just add a touch of salt and pepper for flavor.
  5. Now, toss those mixed vegetables on the grill for around 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they’re tender and have nice grill marks.
  6. Once everything is ready, plate it up! Start with a generous serving of rice, add the grilled chicken, then top it off with black beans and vegetables.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a side of lime wedges for an extra zesty kick.

And there you have it! A colorful and hearty meal inspired by Pollo Tropical that’s perfect for family gatherings or just to treat yourself. So gather your loved ones, share some stories, and enjoy the flavors of home-cooked goodness!
