Mmmmmm……this one’s going on my “must make” list! Love that it’s a one-pot meal.

@Verda, Great question! I added some verbiage to make the recipe more clear. Yes, I only used 3/4 cup of stock because I used the tomatoes and their juice. The beans are drained and rinsed. So, between the stock, the tomato juice, and the juice that the chicken makes as it cooks there is the right amount to make perfect rice. I'm so glad this turned out well for you!

Hi Amy – This dish is really great. I cut the chicken up in chunks because I was taking it to a potluck dinner. Everyone loved it. I do have a question though. Did you use canned pinto beans, if so did you use the liquid from the beans along with the liquid from the tomatoes and the broth. The ratio 3/4 c. broth to 2/3 cup rice didn’t seem right. Brown rice usually takes 2 x the amount of rice for the liquid. I wound up using quite a bit more broth and was a little confused. Though this recipe is quite forgiving and can be adjusted easily. Turned out great. But wondered about the liquids.

@Nicolette, I used boneless. I have a hard time finding bone-in organic chicken thighs. You could use bone-in; you'd just have to cook it longer.

Hi Amy,
I am assuming that the chicken used in this recipe is bone-in chicken thighs?Am I right? I just want to make sure… cook times can so different between boneless and bone-in. This recipe sounds delicious!
