SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS, RICE AND CHILES
Adapted from Diana Henry's "From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves," this true one-pot wonder of chicken, black beans, rice, tomatoes and chiles will make everyone at the table happy. As the chicken thighs roast, the cumin-scented rice soaks up all of the delicious juices. When the timer chimes, the rice and chicken emerge from the oven perfectly cooked. Be sure to use a 12-inch skillet here; a smaller or larger pan might result in under- or overcooked chicken or rice. Leftovers, if you have any, are great in tacos or enchiladas.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (the pan size is very important) over medium-high. Brown the chicken on both sides to give it good color, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion and bell peppers to the pan and sauté until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Meanwhile, add the Fresno chiles or jalapeños, cinnamon, garlic and cumin to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the black beans and cherry tomatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the rice on top in an even layer. (It's important that the black beans are beneath the rice and chicken. The rice will burn otherwise.) Add the stock and return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up.
- Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. The chicken should be lovely and golden, the stock should be absorbed and the rice should be tender. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and avocado (squeeze some lime juice over the avocados in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper).

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the oil on medium-low. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
- Add the tomatoes to the pot along with the cilantro, linguine, 5 cups of water, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Turn the heat up to high and while occasionally stirring, cook until the pasta is softened to your liking and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10-12 minutes. Please note that towards the end of cooking, you should stir more often to keep the pasta from sticking to the pot. And depending on how juicy your tomatoes are, if you find that most of the liquid has evaporated but the pasta is undercooked, you may need to add the additional 1/2 cup of water.
- Stir in the black beans, chicken, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt if needed. Serve warm topped with queso fresco and cilantro.

"My wife, Jennie, is a wonderful cook who's generally skeptical about my kitchen experiments. But she likes this recipe well enough to give me temporary kitchen privileges...and even encouraged me to enter this contest! If you can't find the soup called for here, nacho or cheese soup make easy substitutes," suggests Mike Kirschbaum in Cary, North Carolina.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose the right beans: Black beans are a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of beans, such as pinto beans, kidney beans, or navy beans.
- Cook the beans properly: If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking. This will help them soften and cook more evenly.
- Use flavorful chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for this dish. Be sure to season the chicken well with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of fry.
- Add the beans and sauce at the end: Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, add the black beans and sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
- Serve over pasta or rice: This dish is traditionally served over pasta, but you can also serve it over rice or quinoa.
Conclusion:
Chicken with black beans over pasta is a quick and easy meal that's packed with flavor and nutrition. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
This dish is also very versatile. You can use different types of beans, chicken, and vegetables, and you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. So feel free to experiment and make this dish your own.
