Ingredients
Marinade:
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
-
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon chili powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Chicken and Rice
-
5 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
1 ½ cups chicken stock
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 ¼ cups water
-
1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
-
1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
-
1 ½ teaspoons lime zest
Directions
-
Combine cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl or plastic storage container. Add chicken and coat well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade, rubbing garlic onto both sides of the chicken. Add chicken to the hot oil and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Turn off burner and transfer chicken to a plate; set aside.
-
Pour chicken stock and water into the Dutch oven, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden or plastic spoon to loosen any browned bits. Stir in rice, lime juice, and salt. Place chicken on top of the rice and cover with a lid.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and remove chicken to a plate using tongs. Stir rice from bottom to top then place the chicken back on top of the rice.
-
Return to the oven and cook, uncovered, until all the liquid is absorbed, and the rice is soft, 15 to 18 more minutes.
-
Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and stir 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest into the rice. Fluff with a fork and serve with the chicken.
