Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the chicken: put the butter, soy sauce, allspice, peppercorns, cinnamon, nutmeg, scallions, thyme, garlic, lime zest and juice, chile and ginger in a food processor and pulse, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary with a rubber spatula, until a paste forms.
- Arrange the chicken pieces on a baking sheet, rub with the marinade and generously sprinkle with salt. Let marinate for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat and brush lightly with canola oil.
- Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill pan. Reserve any leftover marinade on the baking sheet to use later. Cook until slightly charred and marked, flipping halfway through, 5 to 8 minutes total (the chicken will not be fully cooked, it will finish cooking in the oven).
- Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the chicken skin-side up on the rack, leaving ample space between each piece. Top the chicken with the reserved marinade from the baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the rice: Put the rice in a large bowl, cover with 4 cups cold water and soak for 30 minutes. Strain well, reserving the soaking liquid.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium. Add the butter and onions and cook until they are translucent but not brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cumin seeds, cayenne and cinnamon stick and toast for about 1 minute. Add the drained rice and stir gently until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add the reserved soaking water and gently stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Cover the pan and turn off the heat. Let rest for about 10 minutes, then season with salt and fluff with a fork. Remove the cinnamon stick.
- For the green beans: fill a large bowl with ice water and set a colander inside the ice bath. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a generous handful of salt. (The water should taste like sea water.) Add the green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the colander ice bath.
- When ready to serve, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and toss in the beans to warm them gently. Top with the lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt.
- For the honey glaze: Simmer the honey in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it foams and turns golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the vinegar and return the pan to the stove. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes more to allow the vinegar and honey to cook together. Season with salt and set aside.
- Place a large spoonful of rice on each plate and arrange the chicken and green beans around each portion. Drizzle the chicken with the honey glaze.

BELIZEAN RICE AND BEANS AND STEWED CHICKEN* RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by á-3145
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- CHICKEN: To season with recado, get the palms of your hands wet with a bit of oil or chicken fat, then place a ball of recado in your palms and rub it around until it forms a paste which you then wipe on the chicken. You do not need a lot of recado. A thin rub will do the job. Cut chicken in serving pieces and place on a cookie sheet and season with salt, white pepper, recado and sliced onion. Brown chicken in hot oil until well browned. Pour off excess fat. Cook over low heat, adding vinegar and water. In a small frying pan, brown the cane sugar. Add 1 cup water and Worcestershire sauce while deglazing the bottom of a pan with a wooden spoon (stir the bits of sugar off the off the bottom). Add sugar and Worcester sauce mixture to the stew and cook until chicken is done. RICE AND BEANS: Soak beans overnight in enough water to cover. Boil beans covered until tender and whole, about 1 and a half hours, adding 1/2 onion and garlic when almost tender. Add coconut cream and the rest of the onion along with the salt and pepper. Wash the rice and add to beans. Cook over gentle heat until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Stir gently with fork and add a little water from time to time until rice is cooked. If the bottom scorches, carefully finish cooking without stirring up the bottom, adding water from time to time if needed. In Belize they call the burnt bottom "Rice Bun" and it is good to eat. Just do not stir it through the rice. You can thicken the gravy with 3 tsp corn starch in about 1/2 cup of cold water then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes till it thickens. To Serve: Pour chicken and sauce over rice and beans. Serve with potato salad and fried plantains.
CHILI BROWN RICE WITH CHICKEN, BLACK BEANS AND OLIVES
A recipe posted in the 01/14/09 edition of the Wichita Eagle. I loved the combination of ingredients and the fiber content. An easy to make mexican meal made in one dish! I think this could easily be made into a OAMC meal either cooked and frozen, or made as a "dump" meal.

MEXICAN CHICKEN WITH BEANS AND RICE
This maybe the the best chicken I've ever made. The recipe is very flexible to your tastes. I preferred mine to be spicy but you can easily change to suite your tastes. I love using the Dutch Oven because you don't have to worry about scratching a coating off and the heat is continual and gentle on the food.

Steps:
- Start your baking oven preheating to 250 degree Fahrenheit.
- Heat a Dutch Oven on your stove burner with the Canola Oil over a low flame.
- Dry 2-3 the Chicken Legs with a paper towel.
- Coat the Chicken Legs with the Fajita Spice Mix in a pie tin or similar container. The heavier the coating the spicier the chicken.
- Place the coated Chicken Legs in the Dutch Oven and cover. Brown both sides of the chicken for 3-5 minutes. Don't crowd the chicken or the chicken will burn. Also the Dutch Oven will get hotter as you go so watch your browning time.
- Remove the browned Chicken Legs and set aside.
- Repeat the process until all the chicken is browned. You'll need to keep a thin coat of oil on the bottom of the Dutch Oven so add Canola Oil as needed between brownings.
- Wipe out the hot Dutch Oven with a paper towel to remove the oil and unwanted spices. Leave some extra spice if you want the dish to be hotter.
- Place the ingredients into the Dutch Oven in this order: Chili Beans, Salsa, Chicken Broth, Long Grain White Rice, and then the Chicken Legs.
- Cook for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken's juices run clear. Don't peak if your can avoid it.

DEVILISH SESAME CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS AND SCALLION RICE
Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil, one turn of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the rice; toast, stirring, for a minute or two. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, lower the heat, cover and simmer until tender, about 17 minutes. In a medium size skillet, bring 1 inch of water to a boil, salt it, add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, two turns of the pan, over high heat until rippling. Add the chicken and cook until golden, 3-4 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and cook until just softened, 3 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, tossing, for 1 minute. In a bowl, mix together the Tamari, honey, hot sauce, mustard and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables; toss. Drizzle the sesame oil over the chicken. Stir the scallions into the rice and fluff with a fork. Serve the chicken over the rice and top with the sesame seeds. Cover to keep warm.
RED CHILE CHICKEN WITH RICE AND BLACK BEANS
Categories Chicken
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- DIRECTIONS Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a medium-large heavy pot over medium heat. Sprinkle the diced chicken breast with salt and ½ tablespoon of the chili powder. Place the chicken in the hot oil and brown , stirring and flipping occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes (the chicken doesn't need to be cooked all the way through because it will finish cooking later). Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the second tablespoon of oil to the pot and add the onion and rice. Cook on medium-low, stirring for several minutes, until the rice turns from translucent to opaque. Add the garlic and the remaining 1 tablespoon chili powder. Cook one minute, and then add the broth and salt (between 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) to taste. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the chicken to the pot along with the beans, give it all a good stir. Recover the pot and cook on low for 10-12 minutes longer, taking care that the mixture isn't cooking to hot or else it will burn on the bottom. Sprinkle the green onions and test a kernel of rice. It should be tender, in which case you place the cover back on, remove it from the heat and let it stand 5-10 minutes. If it's not cooked, cook for another 5 minutes or so, stirring and checking often to make sure the mixture doesn't burn. Fluff the mixture with a fork and serve with salsa and sour cream.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
- Rinse the Rice: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which helps prevent it from becoming sticky.
- Use a Dutch Oven or Large Pot: A Dutch oven or large pot will help evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from burning.
- Simmer the Rice: Simmering the rice over low heat allows it to absorb the flavors of the broth and seasonings.
- Let the Rice Rest: After cooking, let the rice rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This will help the rice grains separate and become fluffy.
Conclusion:
This flavorful and versatile chicken, beans, and rice dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With its combination of protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, it's a well-balanced meal that's perfect for any occasion. So gather your ingredients, follow the step-by-step instructions, and enjoy this delicious and satisfying dish!
