Coconut rice and beans with chicken

Ingredients

2 chicken breast (bone in and skin on)
1/2 cup white rice
1/2 can of coconut milk
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 can of black beans
1 teaspoon chopped oregano
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 teaspoon of salt
cilantro

Recipe Preparation

Preheat oven at 380 degrees, heat cast iron skillet and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, sprinkle salt and pepper to chicken breast, next cook in the pan skin side on. Sear really well until skin looks brown or crispy, then flip over and throw it in the oven. When its done it should read 165 degrees on the thermometer (insert it close to the bone that is where it tends to take longer to cook).

For the rice heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, add garlic, onion and oregano and let that cook until golden. Then add the coconut milk and rice, let that reduce for about 5 min, then add 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of salt, cover. Once rice is cooked add the beans and mix well.
