Cooking Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350℉/177℃.
• Wash chicken thighs. For faster cooking, make a ½-inch slit into the meat on either side of the bone and pat dry with a paper towel—season with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and bouillon powder.
• Rub both sides of the thighs with a generous amount of jerk seasoning.
• Add about 2 tablespoons of oil to a skillet, Dutch oven, or oven-safe pot. Then add chicken thighs skin side up, and brown for about 3 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn it. Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside.
• Wipe the pan with a paper towel or napkin to remove any burned bits from the pan.
• Add another 2 tablespoons of oil, followed by onions, thyme, garlic, and bay leaf, and sauté until soft but not golden, 2-3 minutes.
• Then, add the rice and beans. Next, add all the remaining ingredients: chicken stock, coconut milk, paprika, white pepper, jerk seasoning, salt, and bouillon. Add the chicken back to the pot and bring everything to a boil.
• Place the pan in the oven and cook, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is done.
• Remove from oven, allow to rest a minute, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve.
