Ingredients

4 servings

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

  • Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs in the pan, skin-side down, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from the pan.
  • Add the onion to the same pan and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stir to coat in the oil, and toast for 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, then pour in the chicken broth. Place the chicken, skin-side up, on top of the rice. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and stir in the black beans, cilantro, and lime juice.
  • Serve the chicken over the rice, garnished with more cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
