Preheat oven to 375°F.

Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.

In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for about 5 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
5
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent.

Stir in the brown rice, coating it with the oil and onion mix. Toast the rice for about 3 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Pour in the chicken broth, then place the chicken thighs back in the skillet, skin side up.

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully take out the chicken.

Add the chopped cilantro, black beans, lime juice, and lime zest to the rice. Mix until well-incorporated.
