Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the sofrito, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well to coat the chicken. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    While the chicken is roasting, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Season with a pinch of salt and cumin if desired.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    In a serving bowl, combine the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. Toss lightly and set aside.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the chicken is done, serve it alongside the rice, beans, and salad. Enjoy your Spanish Chicken meal!
