Ingredients
12 oz Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
½ cup Long Grain White Rice
1 tbsp Mexican Spice Blend (Ancho Chile Powder, Smoked Paprika, Garlic Powder, Ground Cumin & Dried Mexican Oregano)
1 each 15.5-oz can Black Beans

¼ cup Sour Cream
⅓ cup Tomatillo-Poblano Sauce
1 each Single-Use Aluminum Tray
How to make it
1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 450°F. Rinse and dry the tomatoes. Rinse and drain the rice. Drain and rinse the beans. Lightly oil the tray. Combine the rice, drained beans, tomatillo sauce, tomatoes, and as many peppers as you like (wash hands immediately after). Add 1 cup water. Season and stir thoroughly.
2
Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and enough spice blend to coat. Arrange in an even layer on top of the base. Cover tightly with foil; place directly on an oven rack and bake 38 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. USDA minimum: 165°F for chicken. Leave the oven on and remove.
3
Remove the foil. Top evenly with the cheddar and Monterey Jack. Return to the oven uncovered 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve topped with sour cream.
