Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, Private Selection Italian
4 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons agave nectar
4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 small yellow onion, sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 cup white long grain rice, rinsed
1 ½ cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon black pepper
Lime wedge, for garnish
fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish or medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, agave, 1 teaspoon of salt, the oregano, chili powder, and 2 teaspoons of cumin. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  • Add the onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until starting to soften.
  • Add the rice and chicken stock. Season with the remaining teaspoon of cumin, the pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil, then return the chicken thighs to the pot.
  • Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Garnish with a squeeze of lime juice and cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
