Ingredients
For the Mojito Lime Roasted Chicken:
- 4 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Pilaf:
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 can sweet corn 15 ozs, drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together lime juice, mint, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown. Stir in the rice, corn and thyme, then pour in the broth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Serve the Mojito Lime Roasted Chicken with Mushroom Pilaf and enjoy!
