Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. In a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a golden brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and chopped bell peppers. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
-
Stir in the paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables and spices.
-
Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth, stirring well to incorporate all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
-
Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, making sure they are partially submerged in the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Serve the C Cast Iron straight from the skillet for a rustic and inviting presentation.
