Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large onion, chopped
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin and fat removed
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can fire-roasted diced green chiles
1 quart chicken broth
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chile-lime seasoning (such as Trader Joe's®)
1 teaspoon salt

1 (12 ounce) bag black bean rotini (such as Trader Joe's®)

Steps:

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. The chicken was also a bit dry. I might try it again with some different spices.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it could have used less chili powder. The chicken was also a bit dry. I might try it again with some different spices.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I served it over brown rice instead of pasta and it was still delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken thighs, but this recipe changed my mind. They were so flavorful and moist. The black bean pasta was also a great choice. It held up well to the sauce and had a nice nutty flavor.
