@brown rice{1.5%cup} in a #large pot{} of salted water. Bring to a boil, then cook until tender, ~{25-30%minutes}. Drain, just like pasta.

Wash and dry all produce. Meanwhile, halve, peel, and dice @yellow onion{1}. Dice @Roma tomato{4}. Drain and rinse @black beans{2%box}. Zest, then halve @lime{1}.

In a shallow dish, combine @smoked paprika{2%tsp}, half the lime zest, and a large drizzle; set aside. Cut @chicken thighs{24%oz} into bite-sized pieces and toss into the spice mixture. Season generously with @salt{} and @black pepper{}.

Heat a large drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, tossing for ~{5-6%minutes}, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add @onions{} to the same pan over medium heat. If the pan is too dry, add another drizzle of olive oil. Cook, tossing for ~{4-5%minutes}, until softened. Add a splash of water to help scrape up the browned bits. Remove the pan from heat.

When the rice is done, toss into the pan along with the onions, tomatoes, black beans, and spiced chicken. Toss over low heat until heated through. Stir in a squeeze of lime juice and the remaining lime zest. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Enjoy!
