Method
- Mix paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, cayenne and black pepper. Toss chicken thighs in olive oil, lime juice and most of the spices.
- Sear the chicken in a deep skillet until browned. Set aside. Soften onion, garlic and bell pepper in the same pan.
- Stir in long-grain rice, then chicken broth, tomato passata, corn, black beans and the remaining spices. Nestle the chicken on top.
- Cover and simmer 20 minutes, then rest 10 minutes. Fluff the rice, add lime, and scatter cilantro.
Shopping tip
Arroz agulha, passata, milho congelado and feijão preto em lata are all supermarket staples. Coxas or peito work.
