Chicken Thighs in Lime Cilantro Black Bean Rice

363. Ok...let me just say, there are times I get agitated with the pop-up ads or never ending recipe ads that accost you while scrolling on your social media.  But yesterday...I stopped...I watched...I made note...and I saved this recipe!!!  It was a buzzfeedtasty post on Instagram.  I not only saved it...I made it!!!
You can find the original recipe here.

 I followed the recipe but added a few ingredients to my taste.     I was a bit disappointed with my chicken skins that stuck to the bottom of the dutch oven.  Remember to blot your chicken and make sure the skin is dry before adding to the pot.  I also used Basmati Rice which adds so much flavor and fluffs up beautifully!

The chicken skins were so crispy and flavorful and this rice, can I say we didn't want to stop eating it!

Fantastic recipe and thank you Buzz Feed Tasty...this was a perfect recipe!

Pan Roasted Chicken

 337.  Pan Oven Roasted Chicken is on the menu tonight.  It is simplistic and will always satisfy!
I chose to roast thighs because of their dark meat flavor and size.  I used bone-in chicken for flavor as well.
On a flat pan spray lightly with cooking spray or wipe olive oil over bottom and sides of pan.  Wash and pat chicken dry.  Place in the pan skin side up.  Sprinkle over the chicken coarse sea salt, pepper corn crushed and a whole garlic clove smashed.  From this point you could sprinkle over any flavor you prefer:  Paprika, dill, thyme, rosemary, parsley, herbs d'province, mixed italian herbs, sazon
Spanish seasoning.

Roast in a 350 degree oven for one hour.  Do not cover the pan.  The chicken will shrink as it bakes and will render fat.  Serve with any sides of your choosing or remove from pan, place in a bowl and then in the fridge till the next day.  Tear the chicken off the bone and place on a cold salad or make chicken salad.  It's delicious!
