MEXICAN CHICKEN WITH BEANS AND RICE



Mexican Chicken With Beans and Rice image

This maybe the the best chicken I've ever made. The recipe is very flexible to your tastes. I preferred mine to be spicy but you can easily change to suite your tastes. I love using the Dutch Oven because you don't have to worry about scratching a coating off and the heat is continual and gentle on the food.

Provided by Erv Kosch

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 chicken legs
2 tablespoons canola oil
fajita seasoning mix
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chili beans
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup long grain white rice

Steps:

  • Start your baking oven preheating to 250 degree Fahrenheit.
  • Heat a Dutch Oven on your stove burner with the Canola Oil over a low flame.
  • Dry 2-3 the Chicken Legs with a paper towel.
  • Coat the Chicken Legs with the Fajita Spice Mix in a pie tin or similar container. The heavier the coating the spicier the chicken.
  • Place the coated Chicken Legs in the Dutch Oven and cover. Brown both sides of the chicken for 3-5 minutes. Don't crowd the chicken or the chicken will burn. Also the Dutch Oven will get hotter as you go so watch your browning time.
  • Remove the browned Chicken Legs and set aside.
  • Repeat the process until all the chicken is browned. You'll need to keep a thin coat of oil on the bottom of the Dutch Oven so add Canola Oil as needed between brownings.
  • Wipe out the hot Dutch Oven with a paper towel to remove the oil and unwanted spices. Leave some extra spice if you want the dish to be hotter.
  • Place the ingredients into the Dutch Oven in this order: Chili Beans, Salsa, Chicken Broth, Long Grain White Rice, and then the Chicken Legs.
  • Cook for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken's juices run clear. Don't peak if your can avoid it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you are using a large pot, you may need to cook the chicken in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the chicken from browning properly.
  • Use a good quality salsa. The salsa is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a salsa that you enjoy the flavor of.
  • Simmer the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the salsa and chicken to meld together.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. This dish can be served with rice, beans, tortillas, or salad.

Conclusion:

This Mexican chicken with beans and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the salsa adds a nice kick of spice, and the beans and rice provide a hearty and filling base.
