Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken thighs
1 cup white rice
1 ½ cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 can black beans, drained
1 lime
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, add the olive oil and place the chicken skin side down for about 5 minutes or until skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Take the chicken out and add the onions and cook until they're translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stir to coat in the oil and onions, and toast for 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic then pour in the chicken stock and place the chicken on top of the rice. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until rice is cooked.
  • Once cooked, take the chicken out and add in the cilantro, black beans, and the juice of one lime. Mix until well-incorporated.
  • Serve the chicken over rice and garnish with cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
