Instructions
1
Prep
Butterfly the chicken breast, rub with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Let sit 10 minutes at room temperature.
2
Heat
Warm vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cook 3 minutes until softened.
3
Simmer
Stir in the canned tomatoes, ancho chili powder, cinnamon, and chicken stock. Simmer over medium-low heat 8 minutes until thickened.
4
Heat
Chop the dark chocolate and add it with half the black beans to the saucepan. Remove from heat and blitz with an immersion blender until smooth.
5
Grill
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken 5–6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and grill marks form.
6
Grill
Add the sliced bell pepper and chopped onion to the grill pan during the last 4 minutes of chicken cooking, turning once, until charred.
7
Fry
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Fry the egg 2–3 minutes until the white is set and yolk edges firm, center soft.
8
Rest
Let the grilled chicken rest on a cutting board 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.

Toss the cooked rice with lime juice and 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro. Spoon into a bowl with remaining black beans, grilled vegetables.
