Chicken and rice with green beans recipe

4.5 pounds of bone in, skin on chicken thighs (8 pieces)

2 teaspoons of lemon pepper
2 teaspoons of adobo
2 teaspoons of paprika (smoked paprika if you like)
1 teaspoon of dried oregano

1 onion
4 garlic cloves
1/2 red bell pepper (I substituted roasted red pepper)

2 cups of long grain rice
4 cups of chicken broth or water with chicken bouillon

2 bay leaves

1 pound of frozen green beans

Trim the chicken thighs and cut slits on either side of the bone.

Combine the lemon pepper, adobo, paprika, and oregano then, season the chicken on both sides and under the skin. Refrigerate the chicken overnight or for at least 3 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350⁰Farenheit

Chop your onions, red bell pepper and garlic.

Add the chicken skin side down in one layer to the cold pan with NO oil. Its okay if the pieces touch

Brown the chicken for 10 minutes on medium low heat. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side 5 minutes. You may need to move the chicken to different parts of the pan to brown them evenly.

Remove the chicken from the pan (leave about 2 tablespoons of fat in the pan) and add the onions and peppers to the rendered chicken fat. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.


Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat in chicken fat for 2 or 3 minutes.

Add the chicken broth and bay leaves and stir the rice and onion mixture.

Add the green beans

Add the chicken on top of the green beans.

Cover the pan and place it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the chicken reaches 165⁰ internally.

To crisp the chicken skin, place the pan under the broiler for 2 minutes or so. Watch it closely so it doesn’t burn
