MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE

On days I get home late from the hospital, I'm glad this main dish comes together easily in one skillet. Sometimes, I make it ahead in the morning and refrigerate. It's so quick to just sprinkle on the cheese and reheat it for dinner.-Cindy Gage, Blair, Nebraska

  • In a large freezer bag (or bowl), add chicken, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, vinegar, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, oregano and cumin. Seal the bag and shake up to completely coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
  • Heat a large oven-safe saute pan/deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add half of the chicken thighs to the pan and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until chicken is no longer pink on the outside. Transfer the chicken onto a plate and cook the remaining chicken the same way.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In the same saute pan/skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. (If the skillet is already very greasy and has enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan due to cooking the chicken, you can omit this last addition of oil.)
  • Add the rice and saute for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to brown slightly. At this point, some grains of rice may even pop. That's okay. This step adds some nuttiness and more depth of flavor to the rice.
