ONE POT CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN AND RICE

• In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic and cilantro.
• Add the chicken and turn it to coat with the marinade on all sides.
• Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Heat a large skillet (with a lid) on the stove over medium heat.
• Place the chicken thighs, including the marinating liquid, into the hot skillet.
• Brown them, turning once to brown both sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken to a plate (leave any liquid in the pan).
• Add the chopped onion and red pepper to the skillet and saute for about 1 minute to soften.
• Add the rice and continue cooking, stirring, for one minute.
• Add the black beans and chicken broth and stir to combine.
• Return the chicken to the pot on top of the rice. It will be partially submerged in the liquid but not completely.
• Bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet.
• Cook at a simmer until the rice is tender, the chicken is cooked through, and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. There will still be some liquid in the pot but this is okay!
• Serve with chopped fresh cilantro and chopped green onions.
