Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

Preparation of Vegetables and Rice

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the bell peppers and red onion. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a scoop of rice, top with sliced bell peppers and red onion, and then the grilled chicken thighs. Squeeze lime juice over the top and garnish with chopped cilantro.
