SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS, RICE AND CHILES



Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Flaky sea salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or peanut oil
1 large yellow or white onion, chopped
2 green or red bell peppers, halved, seeded and sliced
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 red Fresno chiles or jalapeños, halved, seeded and chopped
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick, broken in half
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed
1/3 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup basmati rice, rinsed in a sieve until the water runs clear
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and sliced avocado, for serving

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).

BLACKENED CHICKEN WITH CREOLE RICE PILAF



Blackened Chicken with Creole Rice Pilaf image

The late Chef Paul Prudhomme is credited with creating blackened fish in the 1980s. I believe the technique is misunderstood even though it's a fantastic recipe. The secret is simple: fat (either butter or oil), spice mix and a piping hot cast-iron skillet. Make sure to open a window to let any smoke out of the house. I like to serve the blackened chicken over Creole rice pilaf because rice is a Louisiana staple.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 medium Spanish or white onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups long-grain white rice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon garlic powder or granulated garlic
4 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 bunch green onions (3 to 4 bulbs), sliced (about 3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon hot paprika
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder or granulated garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder or granulated onion
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoons dried oregano
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted
Six 4- to 6-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil.
  • For the Creole rice pilaf: Heat the butter and oil in a 2-quart saucepan or large saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery, onions and peppers and cook until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt, add the rice and stir a few times until the rice is coated. Stir in the garlic, bay leaf, tomato paste, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook for about 15 seconds. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is reduced and you see little holes on the top, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in half of the green onions. Cover until ready to serve.
  • For the blackened chicken: Heat a 12-inch or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the hot paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, white pepper, thyme and oregano in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Transfer the melted butter to a large bowl. Dip the chicken in the butter and arrange on one of the prepared baking sheets. Season both sides of the chicken liberally with the blackened seasoning mixture. Working in batches, cook the chicken until the first side is blackened, 3 to 4 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to the second prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until the chicken breasts are firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reaches 165 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve over the Creole rice pilaf and garnish with the remaining green onions.

Tips:

  • Use a cast iron skillet. This will help to create a nice, even sear on the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't move the chicken around in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes, then flip it over.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the blackened chicken with red beans and rice. This is a classic Cajun dish that is sure to please everyone.

Conclusion:

Blackened chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give blackened chicken a try. You won't be disappointed.
