Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika smoked
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice rinsed
  • 1 can coconut milk full-fat, 400ml
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 can black beans drained, 400g
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro fresh, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over chicken thighs.
  • In a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
