Ingredients
  • 1 package chicken thighs 4 - 6 pieces
  • 1 8 oz. package Vigo Cilantro Lime Rice
  • 1 can 16 oz. black beans - drained and rinsed well
  • 3/4 cup peas
  • 2 1/2 cups water - can be part chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 - 3 cloves crushed garlic - optional
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro or 1 tablespoon fresh
Instructions
  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a little oil in a pot big enough for all of your ingredients. I used a large cast iron pan. Brown the chicken thighs. Add garlic, cook about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the water and butter. Bring to a boil
  3. Stir in the seasoning mix from the rice with the additional cilantro.
  4. Add rice.
  5. Cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook over medium heat until chicken and rice are tender, about 20 minutes.

  7. Turn off heat and stir in peas. Let set a few minutes. Serve.
