Receta Chicken, Rice & Beans Skillet
Chicken, Rice & Beans Skillet
February 3, 2014 By: Kathy Steger14 Comments
This is my family’s absolute new favorite dish. I love making it because it’s insanely easy and quick to prepare. What’s not to love about chicken, rice and beans all cooked in one pot. It’s a marriage made in food heaven. I must start by first thanking a fantastic blogger who introduced me to this recipe, Natalie at Tastes Lovely. I adapted this fabulous dish from her and have been making it weekly ever since. I even made this for our Super Bowl party and it was a huge hit. It’s been snowing all day, schools are closed and I had to take a day off from work. In between the list of house chores and loads of laundry I got to do something I rarely have a chance to do, I watched cooking shows all day long. I couldn’t help but think of how I would love to have a cooking show of my own. Can you imagine doing what you love all day long? Hmmm.. I wonder what I would create as my first dish. I think it would have to be this skillet. Yeah, it’s that good.
The beauty of it is that you most probably already have all the ingredients right in your pantry and freezer. It’s fabulous with hot sauce like Cholula. In this house of hot sauce junkies, hot sauce goes faster than milk.
I leave you with these two questions:
What’s your dream job?
Do you like hot sauce? If so, what’s your favorite?

6 drumsticks or 5 boneless thighs 2 cups Jasmine rice 4 cups chicken stock 1 medium onion, chopped 1 15 oz can small red beans 2 garlic cloves, minced ⅓ cup frozen green peas 1 packet Goya Sazon con azafran (with saffron) 2 tbsp olive oil salt and paprika to taste Instructions
Heat olive oil in a oven safe heavy pot. Season chicken with salt and paprika. Cook about 5 min on each side, until crispy and nicely browned. Don't worry if the chicken is not fully cooked through, it will finish cooking in the oven. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside. Now add onion and garlic to the pot. Saute about 4 minutes and stir in rice, chicken stock, beans, peas and the packet of Goya. Stir to combine. Gently nestle the chicken on top of the rice mixture. Bake at 450 degrees until all the liquid is adsorbed and the rice is cooked, about 20-25 minutes. 3.2.2265
