directions

  • Prep all the ingredients and season both sides of the chicken with a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it's hot and shimmering, add the chicken thighs to the pan.
  • Leave them alone to brown deeply, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown them on the other side for a couple minutes, then remove them to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, jalapeño, cumin, and coriander. (You may need to add a little oil.).
  • Sauté until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Put the chicken back in the pan.
  • Scatter the sweet potatoes and black beans around the chicken.
  • Pour the broth in the pan, then cover and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160F, 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prep the lime and cilantro. Just before you serve the chicken, stir the zest, juice and cilantro into the pan.

<p>I have been tattooing professionally for 10 years. <br />I had my first baby in March 2005. He's the best thing that ever happened to me! <br />Update: Since this post, I had twins in May 2007. Unfortunately one was born with a Congenital defect called Diaphragmatic Hernia. She has been in the hospital since she was born and as of today it has been almost 8 months. As soon as we come home, I plan to start getting back in the kitchen, but it has been the last thing on my mind as of late. <br />2nd Update: My daughter has been home for a year now and she's been doing really well. She's still has a long way to go, but she's strong as an ox!</p>
