Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 pound thick-cut bacon (about 4 slices), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (appr. 3½ pounds)
1½ teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1 large clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (15.25 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup diced fresh pineapple (cut into ¼ inch pieces)
½ cup diced red bell pepper (¼ inch dice)
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice (from 1 orange)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. In a large ovenproof skillet (that has a cover available), brown bacon over medium-high, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Season chicken with 1 teaspoon cumin, salt, and pepper. Add to bacon grease in hot skillet, skin side down. Brown one side only in skillet, about 13 minutes; transfer to plate (chicken won't be cooked through at this point).
  • Remove grease from skillet. Add 3 tablespoons broth, onion, and bell pepper. Deglaze pan by scraping the bottom as the vegetables cook. Cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add rice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and oregano. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add broth, beans, and cooked bacon; season with ½ teaspoon salt (see note). Nestle in chicken, skin-side up.
  • Cover and transfer to oven. Roast until liquid is absorbed, rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour. Leaving cover on, let set 10-15 minutes. The rice will continue to cook as it steams.
  • While chicken is in oven, make salsa. Mix together pineapple, red bell pepper, cilantro, and orange juice in small bowl.
  • Serve with pineapple salsa and chopped cilantro, if desired.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will ensure that you have enough space to cook the chicken, rice, and beans all in one pot.
  • Brown the chicken first: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful salsa: The salsa will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose one that you like.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through, but it should still have a slight bite to it.
  • Serve the dish with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

This one-pan Cuban chicken with rice and beans is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the rice is fluffy and moist, and the beans are creamy and delicious. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
