SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS, RICE AND CHILES
Adapted from Diana Henry's "From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves," this true one-pot wonder of chicken, black beans, rice, tomatoes and chiles will make everyone at the table happy. As the chicken thighs roast, the cumin-scented rice soaks up all of the delicious juices. When the timer chimes, the rice and chicken emerge from the oven perfectly cooked. Be sure to use a 12-inch skillet here; a smaller or larger pan might result in under- or overcooked chicken or rice. Leftovers, if you have any, are great in tacos or enchiladas.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (the pan size is very important) over medium-high. Brown the chicken on both sides to give it good color, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion and bell peppers to the pan and sauté until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Meanwhile, add the Fresno chiles or jalapeños, cinnamon, garlic and cumin to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the black beans and cherry tomatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the rice on top in an even layer. (It's important that the black beans are beneath the rice and chicken. The rice will burn otherwise.) Add the stock and return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up.
- Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. The chicken should be lovely and golden, the stock should be absorbed and the rice should be tender. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and avocado (squeeze some lime juice over the avocados in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper).
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked rice or leftover rice.
- For a spicier dish, add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the rice mixture.
- If you don't have black beans, you can substitute another type of bean, such as kidney beans or pinto beans.
- To make the dish more flavorful, use a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Serve the dish with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
This baked chicken and rice with black beans is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or rice. The dish is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
