CHILI BROWN RICE WITH CHICKEN, BLACK BEANS AND OLIVES

Chili Brown Rice With Chicken, Black Beans and Olives image

A recipe posted in the 01/14/09 edition of the Wichita Eagle. I loved the combination of ingredients and the fiber content. An easy to make mexican meal made in one dish! I think this could easily be made into a OAMC meal either cooked and frozen, or made as a "dump" meal.

SPANISH CHICKEN WITH RICE AND OLIVES

Spanish Chicken With Rice and Olives image

I most always add in some chorizo or smoked dry sausage to this just to boost up the flavor a bit. If you have a large electric fypan, then use it for this recipe. Please include the saffron, it really makes this recipe!

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

Ingredients

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).

Because it looks different than traditional chili, my family was a little hesitant to try this dish at first. Thanks to the full, hearty flavor, it's become a real favorite around our house. I like to serve it with warm cornbread. -Jeanette Urbom, Louisburg, Kansas

Tips:

Use Fresh Ingredients: As with any dish, using fresh ingredients will make a big difference in the overall flavor. Choose ripe vegetables, tender chicken breasts, and flavorful black beans. Season Well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of spices and herbs to your dish. Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano are all great additions. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or chili flakes. Cook the Rice Perfectly: Brown rice can be tricky to cook, but it's worth the effort for its nutty flavor and chewy texture. Rinse the rice well before cooking, and be sure to use a ratio of 1:2 rice to water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fluffy. Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When browning the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of brown. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary. Add the Vegetables Last: The vegetables in this dish cook quickly, so add them last. This will prevent them from becoming mushy.

Conclusion:

This chili brown rice with chicken, black beans, and olives is a delicious and healthy one-pot meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. With its flavorful combination of spices and textures, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
