Chicken with Black Beans and Rice
Ingredients
  • 1/4
    cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/4
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/4
    teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 1/2 - 3
    pounds meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks)
  • 2
    tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1
    15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1
    14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes with onion and green pepper, undrained
  • 1
    cup tomato juice
  • 1
    cup frozen whole kernel corn
  • 2/3
    cup long grain rice
  • 1/8 - 1/4
    teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2
    cloves garlic, minced
Directions

1. In a large resealable plastic bag combine flour, 1 teaspoon of the chili powder, the salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces, half at a time. Seal bag; shake to coat.

2. In a very large skillet brown chicken on all sides in hot oil over medium heat about 10 mintues, turning occasionally. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside; discard drippings. Add beans, undrained tomatoes, tomato juice, corn, uncooked rice, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, the cayenne pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Bring to boiling. Transfer rice mixture to a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole. Arrange chicken pieces on top of rice mixture.

3. Bake, covered, in a 375 degrees F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F for breasts; 180 degrees F for thighs and drumsticks) and rice is tender. Makes 6 servings.

This dish was discovered to be even better the next day after marinating in frig. I used spaghetti Sauce inplace of juice , also added some steamed sliced bell peppers. I will make this often, I am sure.

the rice dish was great. I added extra veggie and I used tomato soup over tomato juice. The chicken was not season too well. You have to add your normal seasoning to the chicken to give it more flavor.

Delicious! Even my picky 2 year old gobbles it up. I've made it exactly as written, sometimes we use boneless skinless chicken breasts, some nights I add sweet peppers to the mix. No matter what we never have leftovers!

This recipe is perfect! I've already made it several times since I first tried it. It's so quick and easy but it makes such a great, fulfilling meal. My husband usually doesn't like rice but he liked this casserole. I used skinless, boneless chicken and also used a bit more garlic. Otherwise followed the recipe. This is one of my new go to recipes if I want a quick, delicious dinner.
